Handy 4 Hen House

This Small Handy Hen House is a compact henhouse for 4 hens - a 'Portable Pocket Henhouse'! Delivered Ready Assembled. For current delivery timescales see Delivery Tab.

Approx. 3ft x 3ft (externally) this is the smallest of the Handy Henhouse range with an internal nestbox and freestanding perches.

The Handy Henhouse has a 'Never-Leak' Roof which is made of tough low-maintenance, grey, UV stable, recycled polypropylene - no roofing felt for nasty mites to hide in; no leaky corners; completely waterproof; lightweight to reduce weight and help portability.

Comes with a simple Internal Nest Box Tray and a Freestanding Perch Rack to take 4 birds. It is spacious inside, with headroom for a cockerel, so it could comfortably take 4 average-sized laying hens, or 2 and a cockerel. Perfect for up to 6 small Bantam Hens too.

The front door opens wide for access, easy for collecting eggs and easy to clean. Ventilation louvres on either side also act as carrying handles and they are meshed inside to prevent vermin intrusion.

It is raised up on 6-inch legs to help keep it dry and to prevent vermin living underneath. The pop-hole on the right-hand side has a ramp which also folds up to close securely with a galvanised bolt.

There is an option to add an Automatic Pop-Hole Door Opener, which we would fit for you if ordered at the same time as the hen house.

The VSD and lightweight door would be fitted inside the henhouse allowing the birds out in the morning - without you having to go outside on a wet and windy Sunday morning - and then it closes in the evening so you don't have to worry about closing the door as soon as it gets dark.

Then, to keep your hens secure and safe from predators, why not add a 6ft or 9ft long Wired Run to the Hen House. The run just hooks up to the house so can easily be removed when not required, or used if you just need them confined for a short time.

This henhouse is delivered ready assembled on a pallet via Palletline Transport Company (see Delivery Information for full details). Delivery starts at £59 for a pallet (to mainland England) but other areas may be more.

This delivery charge is a single charge, for as many items as we can pack on your pallet, so adding weighty items e.g. bedding, can often be a good idea.
