The Flyte Aviary 6 Chicken Coop

The Flyte Aviary 6 Chicken Coop, for 6 laying hens, has been designed as a compact house for the chicken keeper with limited space.

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.

Aviary 6 Coop actual footprint: approx. 3ft 8in x 7ft 5in. Max. Height: 5ft 2in.
See Specifications Tab for dimensions and for current delivery timescales see Delivery Tab.

Access to the Flyte Aviary Coop is mainly gained from one side, with the nestbox on one end, a big plus when access around the chicken coop is limited.

There is a large door to the walk-in run, under-house access to the run and a full-sized door to the house. This means that the Flyte Aviary is perfect for placing in the corner of your garden up against hedges, fences and walls.

The Aviary 6 house has an external nest box, and with full-length perches inside the house, you can expect to comfortably house six average-size birds or eight bantams.

The perches are removable and the nest box can be lifted off for yet more access to the house. For even more roaming room, we offer 3ft long extension panels to add to the run.

For the roof of the house section itself, we use our 9mm thick, never-leak, recycled black polypropylene. Very secure and ... leak-proof! The floor is made of a smooth, resin-coated board, 12mm thick, and is fully removable for very easy cleaning and washing.

The Aviary 6 house has an external nest box and the perches are removable. The nest box can be lifted off for yet more access to the house.

Extra features can be added to make protection from the elements and wild birds more complete, which is sometimes necessary with our more delicate girls.

A Polycarbonate Roof (6mm twin-wall) can be added to the top of the run, providing shelter without reducing light. It will make the run area biosecure and protect most of the surface of the run from the worst of the rain.

To add an Automatic Door Opener to the Aviary just view Automatic Door Openers - we recommend the ChickenGuard units with the Aviary - and if ordered at the same time as the house then we will fit it for you.
