I bought these to trim the claws of a seven year old chicken hen. They are very sharp and sliced through her claws very easily, allowing me to take off very, very small amounts at once. They are pleasant to hold, seem well made, and the guard is tight so that it doesn't move easily.
Our old VSD door openers decided to misbehave days before we were due to go on holiday and leave the hens in the care of our neighbours. So I was desperate for a fix or replacement. I called FSF who went out of the way to resolve the problem over the phone but in the end I had to order a replacement. Thankfully it arrived the very next day. Great service all round
The box seems very well made and arrived in a couple of days. It's quite heavy (as per the product description), but we managed to get it placed in a tree nearby with the help of a tree surgeon. We really hope it'll get populated by tawny owls that we see in the vicinity of the house.
Very pleased with the Aviary Grand Chicken coop. Arrived well packaged and on time. Was easy to put together with clear instructions. Hens are loving it.
Thank you very much for your review and your lovely photos. Delighted to hear the Aviary went together well and that your hens love it!

Fantastic service and a very well built, quality hobby hen house which I think will last for many many years.
Hello,
Thank you for taking your tiome to leave us a review.
So pelased to hear you are happy with your new house.

Looks robust and hopefully easy to clean out because of the lifting lid but no fixings came with it.
So sorry we missed the fixings, they should have been inside the box. I will get some sent out on Monday for you. Apologies again.
Anne
Really easy ordering and super-fast delivery. I am very impressed with the coop which is well designed and beautifully built. So many great features make looking after hens trouble-free.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you like the Coop, and we wish you many years of trouble-free hen keeping :)

This is the third house we have bought from you & as always we are so pleased with the quality of the duck house. We had it delivered flat packed for ease of getting through a narrow gate & it was easy to put together with the clear instructions.
Looks great & the ducks love their new home.
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for taking your time to leave us such a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that you and your ducks are happy with the new house😊

I've been using Garvo Alfa Mix for my chickens for a few years now and I swear they are living longer as a consequence of it!! I feel they are getting a full healthy diet of mixed seed, veg, shrimps & grit. They don't need anything else. Flyte of Fancy as a company are brilliant. I have bought most of my hen and duck/goose items from them. Everything gets delivered really quickly.
Brilliant product from a great team who were hugely patient and accommodating
Hi Dee,

Well made and easy to construct - even with the goats ‘helping’!! Our two took a week or so to get used to it then, as is the case, once one had ventured in (bribed by compressed hay ‘nuts’) … the other followed quickly!
Top tip (if placing it directly on pasture) is to place weed proof membrane underneath as there is a fair bit of … ahem … organic/natural ‘fertilizer’ provided by our two boys!
Additionally, we have laid some rubber matting (as used in horse boxes/stalls) on both levels to help with managing the bedding and cleaning etc. We got our mats (6ft x 4ft x 12mm) from Mole Valley Stores at approx £47 a sheet - one sheet did the ground floor and half a sheet did the mezzanine level.
One thing we did change was the top mounting for the ladder … according to the instructions it is screwed into the underside of the top shelf - however, once the goats were using the house and rubbing against the ladder it lasted about a week. The cure is simple … mount the ladder to the top of the shelf with a 200mm batten above the mounts and another one below the shelf) - also wise to secure the bottom of the ladder by fixing it to the floor. Since then, no problem!
Beautiful well built coop, I was looking for a run and house for my two rescue cockerels which be fox proof and safe but also give them plenty of room to run about in and perch, Anne was so helpful in helping me decide and I went for the aviary 4 hen house with a run extension auto door and the poly roof, it’s so well built, looks amazing and the boys are really happy in their new house. When I come to upgrade my girls coop I’ll be getting the grand aviary as I’ve been so impressed with the communication, delivery and quality of the coop
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Glad to hear that you are pleased with our service and quality, and that your boys are happy in their new home!
Kind Regards
Anne
Excellent service - new battery box, cord and bead, and external grey screws. The opener is now as good as new.
Medium fits my hybrids perfectly, easy to get on once you have the knack. All the girls settled into them really well, doesn't stop them flying or dust bathing. Hopefully it will break the habit of pulling out back feathers.
The ladies love these, they last a coupe of months with 3 girls, keeps them busy when they can't get into the garden. Much better than the pecking blocks that have grain in, they only last about 5mins and anything left at the end of the day attracts mice. Made the mistake of keeping the spare alfalfa block in the shed over winter and it went soft, so make sure they are stored somewhere dry
Great quality, and arrives conveniently in flat-pack form on a pallet. Would not hesitate to buy again if I need more space.
Hi Paul,

It does what it says on the tin. In hinesight, feels quite expensive for what it is. Could have achieved the same for cheaper from elsewhere BUT I can't fault it is what it says on the tin and easy to buy as part of a package for my ducks with an cool house and awesome run. (Excuse the stones ontop - not needed but felt more secure)
Bought this with my run but after i purched the house.
Looks great and super practical :) Happy ducks.
Love this coop or as my girlfriend likes to call it , avairy. It comes in easy to assemble pannels and i managed to put it together alone and im not someone who typically works with his hands.
Only annoying bit was i couldnt get the roof at either end to completely come together but it doesn't impact the practicality or look of the run (unless you are super picky. Not sure if this was me or the build as everything else looks great!
Hi Charles,
Glad to hear you're happy with the Pen. As for the roof panels at the ends, usually this would suggest something isn't quite level at the base - the angle of the roof means that even a small step at the bottom can through out that finish at the apex. But as you said, if you're happy with it aesthetically, it shouldn't have any negative functions impact 😊

This took me about 3 hours to complete. The instructions are very clear and well detailed. It’s good quality wood, the mesh is great quality and the polycarbonate roof (not an expensive add on, you’ll spend more sourcing it yourself and have to cut it) is applied perfectly before delivery. I was going to build another one myself to replace the first piece of rubbish I build but I’m so glad I didn’t try and be cheap on this. It’s a lovely structure and I highly recommend this run and Flyte So Fancy.
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for takingyour time to leave us a review.
We are so pleased that you found the assembly proccess easy following our instructions. We hope you and your birds enjoy the enclosure for many years to come. And thank you for the reccomendation😊

It's huge! Definitely bigger than I'd thought but absolutely brilliant. It does exactly what it says on the tin. I only wish I'd bought one earlier. It's keeping my drinker clear of shavings. Excellent, speedy service as always.
