Sleeper & Woodchip Pack for Flyte Aviary Coops

Sleeper & Woodchip Pack for Flyte Aviary Coops - The Flyte Aviary 4, 6, 8 and Aviary Grand.

To create a permanent position for your chicken run, why not consider this package to make a secure, fox-proof, level base for your Aviary Coop. By raising the unit on a timber plinth and filling the inside surface with hardwood woodchip, you can make a nice, hygienic surface for the birds.

The Timber Sleepers don't have to be set down or dug into the ground; they are just as effective placed on top of the grass/ground. However, you may find you need to dig them in a little to make them level, which is important for the stability of the run.

The packs contain an appropriate set of pressure-treated timbers, see Details tab, to build a raised plinth with sufficient bags of hardwood woodchip to create a clean surface for the hens.

The hardwood woodchip is an excellent run floor - almost self-cleaning. Just wash through with a garden hose if you haven't had any rain, renew it perhaps twice a year. Liberally scatter some powder disinfectant like the FSF Run Sanitiser over it once a month to keep it fresh.

It is much healthier than bare soil for the birds, and much less smelly too. The woodchip can be placed directly onto the ground; we do not recommend a geotextile underlay (it's not hygienic, and the hens will dig it up).
