Boughton chicken coop 902A 5'9 x 4'3 x 3'8 (1.80x1.30x1.15m)
Housing for six to seven hens an ideal first time keeper unit. This is the
ark that we supplied to Channel 4's The Big Breakfast Show when the fox
got into their old house and killed their hens
The Boughton's cover less ground space than arks of more traditional format
due to the accommodation being above the ark and has the added advantage of a
covered run, which gives both the hens and costly feed a degree of weather
protection.
This layout also satisfies the birds' natural instincts by allowing them to
go up at night to roost.
The Boughtons are specifically designed for bantams and medium sized birds,
it is not thought suitable for large fowl. All of the range have full length
side doors, access to the runs, at both ends, removable perching and a hinged
ladder which may be drawn up to secure the birds at night. The nesting boxes are
located at the end of the ark and have their own external egg collecting doors.
To stop undesirable night occupation of the nests we have incorporated night
shutters, which keeps nest fowling to a minimum and cuts down on egg cleaning
time. All have stout carrying handles and are pressure treated.
Options:
-
Scratch Mat: Sheet of 2"x 2" mesh that goes on the ground in the run area
to stop digging in and out.
-
Draught Board: To shield the birds from strong winds a shutter can be
fitted to one side of the run wire.
-
Extension run: Gives additional run area Can also be used as a self
contained run unit, convenient when re-treating or cleaning. Has a ground area
the same as the 903.

Wheels: To help move the ark
