Chicken Ark - Hen House - Poultry Coop - complete with Chickens
Posted on Mar 23, 2010 under chicken ark |
There are a wide range of chicken coops available - watch they are well-made and sturdy, with no protuding fixings and that they are finished so it is harder for mites to get a foothold.
Well-designed and built coops should last you a long time and we always ensue our coops are responsibly sourced and well-built.
Cheap imports from China may lok a bargain, but check the quality before you buy.
If you’re getting started a complete kit could be the way to go - this idea is from the UK. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/thepoultrypeople Made in our UK Workshop, complete with 3 birds. Compact and ideal for smaller gardens and city or town lives. We will supply you with 3 hens free of charge if you buy one of our Arks to help you in getting started with poultry keeping. Thanks for looking and please browse our other videos to see some of our chickens.

I love the innovation on this ark of the hinged bottom door, but I can’t tell from this video or the other one where your ventilation is. I finally found a builder who almost replicated your original “chookery” for me. We had trouble over on this side of the pond finding reasonably priced tongue and groove cedar, but eventually it all worked out. Thanks again for your wonderful videos. ~ Alexis from California

What you tend to …
What you tend to find is that the chickens like to huddle together in groups. They will sleep almost anywhere, Id try it and see how they get on and then rearrange if it doesnt work. Good luck with them.

hello. so, i am new to chicken keeping. tomorrow i am putting the cedar shakes on my chicken ark, similar to the one you have but much larger, and i am wondering about nesting. can the chickens nest in herb pots. the ones i am thinking about using are about 16 inches across, 6 inches tall, round and shaped like a large soup bowl. they are clay with a shiny earth glaze on the out side. if i put some hay in them will the chickens live in them. thx
