9×21′ chicken coop and run packed ready for despatch
How we send our chicken houses.
As you can see, our chicken houses aren’t like the lightweight houses that might arrive with your normal parcel deliveries. This one shown here is one of our 9×21′ chicken houses and weighs in at around 700kg.
We use two separate carriers to deliver to you, one specialist pallet carrier to deliver the bulk of the chicken house on a pallet, this will contain all the panels, nest boxes, doors, roofing sheets and fixing you need to build the house and another to deliver the long lengths of timber that run along the length of the house.
Whilst our chicken houses are quite easy to put up they are heavy and require the use of basic hand tool. If you prefer we can put them up for you. 2 of us will assembly one of these chicken coops in around 3-4 hours. If you plan to DIY then allow a weekend.
We recently put up a chicken house the same spec as this. so this it what it should look like when finshed. http://www.chicken-house.co.uk/wells-poultry-blog/large-chicken-coop-sacred-heart-westhoughton
About admin
Once upon a time, not so very long ago Auntie Bev arrived at Louise's 16th birthday clutching a rather tatty box, full of holes and tied up with orange baler twine. Louise opened the box and out sprang two chickens. (And also the birth of Wells Poultry but we didn't realise until later)
Louise thought this was great although Lesley (Louise's mum) was not impressed to say the least.
Now, a cardboard box isn't the best home for a pair of chickens so next morning I was off to that well know DIY shop in search of timber with a vague idea of what a chicken house looked like. And so our first chicken house was created.
Sadly these first two chickens were swiped by a fox within a few weeks so we bought a trio of birds from a local breeder. I'm sure that is a familiar story to a lot of people - 2 chickens become 3 and then 3 become 6 and then you need more housing.....
Suffice to say, six months later I was building chicken houses full time in the back garden of a terrace house in Reading. Another year on and we moved to Wales for more space and the business continued to grow. We're now preparing to open our new workshop which will double our current space and allow us to take on more staff....
We attribute much of our success to the fact that we are very similar to many of our customers, we're content to keep a few chickens in the back garden as much for amusement as the eggs they produce. We don't have acres of land so know the limitations a back garden flock. And we firmly believe that the only time you'll need to buy another chicken house is when you need a bigger one not because it's fallen apart.
