The Sleeper & Woodchip Pack for a Long Legged Maggie's Six Henhouse and its 6ft or 9ft long Run.

The Pack contains a set of pressure treated timbers (see Details tab) to build a raised plinth for your Long-Legged Maggie's Henhouse & Run and 3 or 4 bags of hardwood woodchip to create a clean, perfect surface for the hens.

For a permanent site for your Chicken Coop why not consider this package to make a secure, fox-proof, level surface for your House and Run by raising it on a timber plinth and filling the inside surface with hardwood woodchip.

The hardwood woodchip is an excellent, hygienic, surface for the birds - almost self-cleaning in the rain.

Just wash through with a garden hose (if it hasn't rained), refresh perhaps twice a year, and you can scatter some Ground Sanitising Powder over it once a month to keep it fresh. Much more healthy than bare soil for the birds, and much less smelly too!

The hardwood woodchip can be placed directly onto the ground, we do not recommend a geotextile underlay, not only for reasons of hygiene as the 'poo' will not wash/drain through it but also because the hens will dig it up.

More Hardwood Woodchip is available by going to the Hardwood Woodchip page.

Sleeper & Woodchip Pack for Long Legged Maggie's Six Henhouse

Excellent, efficient and helpful service. I would warmly recommend this company and will use them again. Their website is easy to use and informative, the item arrived quickly, well packed and as described. Solid and good quality sleepers that raise the coop and run off the ground creating a decent depth for the wood chip. The coop is also at an even more convenient height than without the sleepers. The run looks and smells much better but most importantly the chickens love scratching around in the chips, which create a natural and interesting environment for them. They do fling the chips into the feeders and drinkers so it's worth having them as high off the ground as possible, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to put a skirting around the bottom of the run. Overall the run is much cleaner (and obviously healthier) than before. Some people suggest a turf protector under the chips - I'm not sure if this would be preferable or not. The chickens do scratch down to the mud pretty quickly so it's a good idea to have a small rake handy to rake the wood chip flat again. I would strongly recommend using a wood chip base for any permanent chicken run - it is an excellent solution.

Helpful throughout the ordering process and delivery, with great attention to detail re access etc. A small glitch in the order was promptly corrected. Worth the trouble, getting the ground really flat before we started.
