Fox proof chicken coop??
« on: March 06, 2012, 13:25 »
Here's a new style of chicken coop which they believe to be fox proof and was featured in this month's Pract. Poultry mag.

(Nerdle, isn't this the sort of thing you were looking for way back when???)

That is an interesting design. Very high up  which makes me wonder how easy it would be to do a deep clean e.g. up in the roof area of the house.

By the way des anybody else's hens lay eggs like the one in the pic on the 'the house' page? I am going to tell mine to buck their ideas up a bit! :lol:

thats not fair I want pretty eggs like them  :(  :(
It may be fox proof but it isn't mink proof. Treating for redmites would be a little bit difficult without a set of ladders  :(
Staffies are softer than you think.

Gonna order one when i win the lottery, currently on special offer... almost £500 including delivery  :ohmy:, my girls would be worth every penny of course mind you i think they may struggle with the door angle as Frances does not do stairs she jumps up off the ground straight into the coop!  :lol:

Thank goodness for all the sensible advice on this site!

Quite high up. The older hens would need a stair lift to get up there
