Overall dimensions: 2.4m long x 1.2m deep x 1.8m high to the apex inside/ 2m high outside.
Dimensions of each house: 1.2m by 1.2m by 1.8m high
Nest boxes are external to this measurement.
Each house is 1.2m square with a solid plywood floor, 3 good sized nest boxes and a closable pop-hole to the outside.
The joining pop-hole between the two houses allows you to use the duo apex as either two separate smaller hen houses or one larger one.
All perches are two-tier drop down units that fold flat against the wall for good access and easy cleaning.
If you are going to run your houses at maximum capacity (lots of chooks!) then the two-tier drop-down perching system is the one for you. These work off the back panel or divider panel depending on where the nest boxes are situated. The drop-down perch is two-tiered and is attached to the wall and supported by two feet off the floor. It can be folded up against the wall when not in use for easy cleaning.
Give careful consideration where you are going to position your hen house. Think about positioning solid walls into the prevailing wind and rain. We recommend facing the front mesh panel towards the sun. Sun in the hen house is a good thing. Think about making access to nest boxes easy as this will be a daily trip for egg collection. Plus allow enough space for human door access when cleaning.
The Duo Apex Hen House is available with an optional standard run (out the front or the back of the hen house). Having an enclosed, secure area off any hen house is a good idea. This gives your chickens in both houses the opportunity to get outside. The chooks from one house can free range out in the paddock/garden whilst the chooks from the other house are confined to the run. A run will give you added peace of mind knowing your hens are safe from visiting predators or a good way to keep your girls out of your precious flower garden or from discovering your veggie garden!
Please remember laying boxes need to be accessible from outside of the run enclosure. so think carefully as to where you place them. Optional run size : 2.4m wide x 1.8m high x 2.6m long.
The person door to run can be positioned in any panel. Please remember a level surface is required for assembly. If you require a customised run to suit your requirements we are happy to assist.
This Duo Apex has been customised: no middle panel and only one person door.
