Here's my hen house! Its just a standard modified 8x6 garden shed with a run:

The view from the back:

View from the front:

View inside. I have wired off the last 3 feet of the shed with a gate. The hens roost on the left and have nesting boxes on the right. You can see from this setup that I can go into the shed and clean it/get the eggs very easily. You can also see the mini run I built for the chicks on the bottom left.

The chicks in their little run!!

Happy hens in the field!

Thats a good hen house. We have an old shed to move and I had thought of using it for hens, my daughter wants to use it for the cats and my husbans wants if for fuel and a rubbish store, so many use one little shed.

anyway, im not rushed yet, I need to get the garden sorted and fencin g up before I do anything. I just want to have all the info first.

Thanks all, loads of ideas

Hello,

is anyone making houses around ?

I am still making mine and find them great as you have them to suit your needs ..

especially broody coops as you never have enough of the buggers.
