An elegant design which has stood the test of time has become a chicken house classic. The Boughton chicken house is our best selling wooden chicken house and provides comfortable accommodation for up to six chickens making it an ideal solution for a first time chicken keeper.
- The Boughton is specifically designed for bantams and medium sized birds, who will find the warm interior and private nest box much to their liking.
- Full length side doors allow easy access to the inside of the house and a retractable ramp means you can access all areas of the house when cleaning.
- Easy to move around the garden with stout carrying handles.
- If you're looking to leave your Boughton in place, or have limited space, the carry handles can be easily removed.
- Uses less space than other traditional chicken arks because the sleeping area is located directly over the run.
- The unique design means your chickens are protected from the sun and rain.
- An easy to use, hinged ladder can be drawn up from outside to make the house secure at night.
- The nest box is located at the end of the ark and has an external egg collecting door.
- You can access all areas of the run via handy doors at each end.
- The unique nest box night shutter stops the chickens sleeping in the nesting box, reducing the amount of droppings that the chickens left in the nest box.
- A solid, single-piece roosting bar provides a safe place for chickens to perch while asleep.
- The Ramp that sits between the roosting area and the run can easily be retracted at night by simply pulling the rope on the outside of the house.
- Overall Measurements - 180cm W x 130cm L x 115cm L
The Boughton Chicken Ark is designed for up to six medium sized chickens. As they require additional head height in the nesting area, the Boughton is not recommended for larger breeds such as Buff Orpingtons or Cochins.
Materials:
House: Sustainably-sourced Canadian Pine
Run: Zinc Coated 25mm Steel Mesh
Unlike cheaper chicken houses that are made of low-grade Chinese softwood, these are made from only the best sustainably-farmed Canadian Pine properly treated to last a lifetime outside.
All the sections are planed all round so there are no scruffy faces or splinters
