The Hobby Hen House

Its been a busy week here at Flyte so Fancy's little patch of Dorset idyll. The sunshine and warmer weather has seen the return of the aerial acrobatic swallows, a new bird house raised in the FSF garden for our wild bird friends and a fresh batch of Hobby Hen Houses come out of the workshop.

Long Legged Hobby Hen Houses

With it's design reminiscent of classic chicken arks, the Hobby Hen House is a popular option for those with a smaller flock or for people just starting out in chicken keeping. Housing up to six medium-sized laying hens (or four larger birds), the Hobby Hen House contains removable perches and nestboxes.

The Long-Legged option for the Hobby not only provides a sheltered spot from rain or sun underneath the house, but also makes cleaning a whole lot easier. The fully removable back door panel means getting into the hen house, for scrubbing out hard to reach corners or collecting your daily egg, is a quick and simple task. Coming with in-built handles, when the time comes, two people can lift the hen house to a fresh patch of grass or pastures new.

If you are looking for a more permanent set up for your hens new home, the Hobby Hen House can arrive with either a 6ft or 9ft run, creating a safe haven for your girls to scratch and cluck about in during the day. Made from inch by half-inch plastic coated galvanised weldmesh, the secure hobby runs will keep out Mr Fox whilst giving you peace of mind (the addition of a No Dig Skirt will create a truly impenetrable fortress).
