    Awesome Hen house

    The mini apex henhouse was just what I needed for my girls. It was easy for 2 of us to put together and the chickens (the smarter ones haha) decided it looked good and put themselves in it on the first night.
    It's roomy for such a small footprint and I love the fact I can walk in easily and shut my precious girls in at night
    Thanks Appletons, very happy :)

    Eggcellent! Just need the chooks now.

    My sister and I put the hen house together in a very short time. There were plenty of extra nails and screws. I can highly recommend these Apex houses.

    Perfect henhouse

    Appletons sent this really quickly, & it took 2 of us less than half an hour to put it up with the excellent woodwork & directions. The rooster & his hens were very happy in it straight away. Really recommend:)

    Very Impressive

    So easy to build - the kids and I had the walls up before hubby finished a phone call, and our teenage son put the roof on. Everything lined up exactly! Obviously pre-built and then disassembled to ensure perfection. Built by a craftsman - all sharp corners rounded off. Our hens are egg-static!

    Mini Apex Chook House for Hubby's birthday.

    Appletons and team came highly recommended and I know why. Everything from initial order and advice online to support via emails and easy to follow instructions made this birthday treat extra lovely. Hubby is now finishing a little bit of enclosure beautification prior to the Stork arriving with four Chookie Girl chicks next week. Bliss.

    Mini Apex Hen House and Fencing

    Many thanks for the hen house and fencing. Fast delivery (excellent service by Mainfreight as well, delivering outside their normal run and off-loading for me). My son and I had the house up in less than an hour; went together beautifully and looks great. Many thanks for including the fencing add-on to the order and incorporating into the henhouse packaging. Wonderful service and a great product.

    I just wanted to let you know, we received our Mini Apex one week after placing the order – so not only were we super impressed with the speed of the order, but the girls just LOVE IT! They wobbled in the first night it was put up, and we’re progressing well with training them into using their feeder too! Thanks again.

This is the first time we’ve had hens, and I find them so amusing and therapeutic just watching them... I’m sure the novelty will wear off at some stage.Thanks again.

    MINI APEX HEN HOUSE

    Hi Guys, Thanks so much for the excellent service. Our new hen house is very well made and it was easy to put together. We were also impressed by the prompt delivery. We appreciated the time you took to explain over the phone our questions which made ordering online easy. We also liked the fact that we could change the position of the pop hole to suit our set up. Best regards, Gillian

    Mini Apex Hen House

    The hen house arrived in good order today and was erected straight away. A breeze with the pre drilled holes and screws and clear instructions! Even before all was finished, the hens took over and took possession of their new house. No need to slowly introduce them to it. The design and layout must be spot on! Thanks very much, I am sure both the hens as well as my wife will enjoy the house.

    Thanks once again to Appletons for supplying me with a quality and user-friendly housing option for my growing flock. I started with your wonderful luxury chooktube only 2 years ago but with my growing interest in chooks, so too came the growing numbers and therefore the growing housing requirements. I knew instantly I would come back to you to seek your expertise yet again. And again, you have not disappointed. From point of order to delivery at the door, your communication around manufacture and shipping was well handled. If my enthusiasm takes me to the next level again, I wouldn't hesitate to contact you again!

    A great hen house...

    We purchased a Mini Apex Hen House plus all the necessary chook bits and pieces from Appletons. They were a pleasure to deal with giving us lots of advice about how to keep our hen house in good order and how to introduce our new chooks to their new home. We are very impressed with the quality of the house, very well built and so quick and easy to assemble. The upgrade to the coloursteel roof was a worth it as it looks very smart and blends in with our roof colour. Thank you Appletons!

    Inside view of Appletons Mini Apex hen house roosting bars and laying boxes

    Two removable single timber roosts (perches). Use one or both depending on the number of birds using the house.

    Inside View

    Three easy-access nest boxes for your hens. Fill nest boxes with untreated wood shavings, hay or use our chicken astroturf nest liners. If using wood shavings make sure nest boxes are regularly topped up to avoid broken eggs.
    Place a pair of nest or fake eggs in one box to encourage hens where to lay. Hens prefer to lay in a nest where other hens have laid.

    Things To Consider | Layout, pop-holes, roof colour, rolled gutters

    Give careful consideration where you are going to position your hen house.

    Layout?

    Best Position and Access
    Carefully consider the placement of your hen house. Position solid walls to protect against prevailing wind and rain. It is advised to orient the front mesh panel towards the sun, as sunlight is beneficial. Ensure easy access to nest boxes, as egg collection is a daily task. Additionally, provide ample space for accessing the personnel door, particularly for cleaning, allowing room for a wheelbarrow.

    Need Additional Chicken Access?

    Chook Pop-holes
    One pop-hole is adequate BUT if you are wanting to alternate your flocks free-range time then consider adding another pop-hole. If you have a paddock to the rear of the hen house and a run off the front then alternate their free range between these two areas. Keep them safe in the run (whilst you are at work) and give them access to free range at the weekends (when you are home) This will require two pop-holes; one in the front and an additional one where required.

    Upgrade to a Roof Colour?

    Upgrade Roof Colour to Colorsteel Endura
    The roof, flashings, and ridge capping are constructed from galvanized corrugated iron. For those seeking a specific roof colour, please choose from the Colorsteel Endura Range. (please google latest range online) Upgrading to a Colorsteel Endura roof enhances aesthetics, reduces glare associated with galvanized iron, and complements your home and outbuildings effectively.

    Rolled gutter detail

    Add a Rolled Gutter?

    Additional Rolled Gutter
    A rolled gutter is standard on the front of your hen house (front mesh panel). We can add another rolled gutter in galvanized iron if needed, or if you want a roof colour, choose the Colorsteel Endura option. Rolled gutters look good and remove the sharp corro-iron edge, which could be at head height for some. If you can walk around your hen house, it's best to choose two rolled gutters. A rolled gutter also guides water to the gutter ends, preventing a dripline.

    Add a fully enclosed run to keep your flock secure

    For the roofing, Kim chose an Ebony Colorsteel Endura upgrade, incorporating a matching rolled rear gutter. The treated timber was stained to align with existing timber features. A fully enclosed poultry run at 3m x 1.9m x 1.2m, was added to provide secure containment for the flock.
