We have used a tough, phenolic-coated, resin board on the house meaning the roof is completely weather proof, no leaks, resulting in a warm and dry house. The floor is also made of this smooth board and is fully removable for very easy cleaning. We think both of these features will help prevent mite infestation taking hold in those hard-to-get-at places in the house.
The Aviary 6 house has an external nest box with full length perches in which you can expect to comfortably house six birds or eight bantams. The perches are removable and the nest box can be lifted off for yet more access to the house.
The capacious run gives the hens plenty of room to roam and even has the unique characteristics of an outside 'veranda' of day-perches, perfect for enjoying that afternoon nap or chicken chit-chat.
For even more roaming room we offer 3ft long extension panels to add to the run (see below).
A polycarbonate roof can be added to the top of the run to keep the run area dry, providing shelter without reducing light.
To add an Automatic Door Opener to the Aviary then look at
an External VSB Door Opener and if ordered at the same time as the house then we will fit it for you.
A 6 inch timber skirt can be fitted to the run to give ground level refuge for our more delicate girls and this is perfect to retain a woodchip ground covering if necessary.
