Pop-Hole Access
We can place the chicken access pop-hole/s wherever you would like them. Usually with the Premier Hen House the pop-hole/s are best positioned in the front netting panel. Please let us know on ordering where you would like them placed. There are a few pointers worth remembering: You do not want to create a through draught in the hen house so think about where your prevailing wind comes from and position of outside runs. We can also add additional pop-holes to give you more options in the future. Please let us know if you would like additional pop-holes as they do encur an additional cost.
Upgrade Roof Colour
We can upgrade your roof colour to match your house roof colour and that of other outbuildings. This option looks very smart and is worth the upgrade. Colorsteel Endura have a standard range of colours. Select one of their popular colours from their range and we can upgrade from the standard galvanised iron to the colour of your choice. Roof iron, flashings and rolled gutter will all match.
Rolled Gutters
These come as standard on the Premier Hen House. Both front and back. They do a great job of remove the sharp edge of the corrugated roof. They also make the hen house look more stylish! Also a good way to save water off the roof and run it into a barrel down a chain.
Need More Laying Boxes?
It is worth considering if you wish to keep the maximum number of hens in this house and a few more... to customise the standard design by adding an additional perch and another row of laying boxes. This will give your chooks optimum roost space and plenty of nest boxes to lay in. The general rule of thumb is 4 to 5 hens per nest box. The Premier Hen House comes with the standard 6 nest boxes...should you request more we can create a double row...so 6 nest boxes below and 6 on top...giving a total of 12 nest boxes.
Please note the photo shows a tiered system. All our Premier housing now uses the single rail system as image of classic hen house.
Perching
The Premier Hen House has the the single rail perch system.
Single Rail Perch System
4 x single rail perches giving a maximum 9.2m of perching space. The perches are removable and sits on rails in the house. Can be easily removed for cleaning and allows for more room in the house than a tiered drop-down system. Perches can be added or removed according to the number of birds using the house.
Optional Standard Run (2.6m x 2.4m)
The Premier Hen House is available with an optional run built off the front. This is the ideal set up if you wish to let your chooks out to sun themselves, dust bath and scratch in the dirt when you are not around to monitor them. 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 off your immaculate flower beds or from discovering your vegetable garden.
Run size as per photo : 2.4m wide x 1.8m high x 2.6m long.
Door to run can be positioned in any panel. Run is made up of 3 full sized panels that are easily screwed together plus two small joiner panels. Will require a level surface for assembly. If you require a customised run to suite your requirements we are happy to assist.
Top netting panel optional - helps to keep the light breeds in and the sparrows out!
Photo shows run attached to an Apex Hen House - the run fits both the Apex, Duo Apex and Premier Hen Houses.
Optional Extended Run (5m x 2.4m)
If more space is required then two additional panels can be added giving the run a full length of 5m.
