Geat service - excellent product

Well built easy to put together. My hens are going to be very happy with their new condo. Great service too. Friendly helpful business to deal with

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 :)

Brilliant wee hen house

Easy to put together and really neat and tidy. It's perfect.

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:)

KITSET Mini Apex Hen House

A brilliant compact walk-in timber hen house for up to 10 hens.

Features:

accommodates up to 10 standard-size hens or 8 heritage heavy breed hens (or a breeding group) with daily access to free range
professionally built, quality KITSET design
very easy assembly - all panels are pre-built with easy to follow instructions
all timber is H4 treated and H3.2 for the plywood
built on skids for easy towing around the paddock
solid plywood floor - keeps the house dry, draught-free, warmer and vermin out
corrugated galvanised iron roof with matching flashings at each end
rolled (non-drip) gutter on the front netting side
wide person-sized door for easy access
easy egg collection - laying box accessed from the outside
three separate nest boxes in one external laying box
two single timber roosts (perches)
quality square welded mesh window on front panel for good ventilation and light
one pop-hole for chicken access (we place it where you want it!)
opening and closing pop-hole for safely from predators
timber 'doorstop' to prevent shavings spilling out.

Well designed, easy-to-assemble and looks smart.

Dimensions: 1.2m long x 1.2m deep x 1.8m high to the apex inside/ 2m high outside.
Nest boxes are external to this measurement.

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.

Best Position & Access

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.
