Sleeper & Woodchip Pack for Maggie's Dozen Henhouse

A Sleeper & Woodchip Pack to suit the Maggie's Dozen Hen House with a 6ft, 9ft or 12ft long Run.

This Sleeper Pack option will create a secure (fox-proof), level surface for your House and Run by raising it on a timber plinth and filling the ground inside with long-lasting hardwood woodchip.

The hardwood woodchip makes an excellent run flooring for the birds - almost self-cleaning. Just wash through with a garden hose if you haven't had any rain, refresh with new woodchip perhaps twice a year, and you can scatter some powder disinfectant over it once a month to keep it fresh. Far more healthy than bare soil for the birds, and much less smelly too.

The packs contain a set of pressure-treated timbers (see Details tab) to build a raised plinth for the Run, with matching blocks for the legs of the Henhouse, and the required bags of hardwood woodchip to create a clean, perfect surface for the hens.

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