The Thicket High House

The Thicket High House chicken coop and run is exactly the same as our best selling Thicket house, but it's a walk in chicken house. It's 6' high so you can get in the run easily to manage your chickens. The floor dimensions are the same as the Thicket, therefore stocking density is the same; It is suitable for up to 14 standard sized chickens or 18 bantam sized. The chicken house has a raised house area to deter vermin problems and to make it easy to clean. The whole hen house is roofed with black corrugated onduline to give the chickens shelter. It also has 2 boards around the base, to add strength, to give the hens extra shelter and to deter predators digging.

This walk in chicken coop is really too heavy to lift on a regular basis and is best sited in a fixed position. Siting the poultry house on paving slabs or similar is a good idea to stop anything digging under and to keep the wood off the ground (I would leave the area inside the run not slabbed so the chickens can still scratch). If you do need a portable chicken coop there are carrying poles and it can be lifted by 4 strong people. These carrying poles double up as day time perches, but they can be removed if preferred.

Additions

All our chicken coops are custom made to order but there are certain things that we are asked for frequently:-

• A pop hole in the wire end -  this gives the advantage that the chickens can be let out without sheep/dogs etc being able to get into the chicken run and eat the chicken food.
• A 3' run extension - this extends the whole chicken coop with run by 3' giving the hens extra run space if they are going to be kept in the run
• PRO Chicken guard - this is an electronic pop hole opening device, it operates to open and close our wooden pop hole on either time or light.
• If you would like extra security we also offer the door opener with a self locking door which is a pop hole that locks down into position once closed.
  

This walk in chicken house and run is delivered by our team in flat sections for customer assembly. We pre-drill most of the holes to make it easy for you to put together and all the fixings are supplied with instructions. We do not hold a stock of our chicken houses as they are all handmade to order. Therefore there is a delay between order and delivery which varies depending on the time of year.
