The Henhut
2-3
pet chickens, breeding pairs, a single setting hen or
small, 7-8 bird broiler-flocks enjoy the Henhut.
The $308 (shipping
included) Henhut is very likely the most
basic and economical pre-built poultry housing available on the world wide web.
 |
Grandma easily moves the Henhut. |
|
 |
Plastic netting, 20-year corrugated fiberglass roofing and
custom-cut pine make this unit weigh less than 53 pounds.
When you move it you lift less than 15 pounds and drag the unit
along on the grass.
|
|
|
The roof lifts open for easy access to the nest and the
optional waterer and feeder.
Screen door hooks on the roof and matching eyes on the
sides keep the roof from blowing away. |
|
|
The nest is on the right. It contains an AstroTurf laying
pad that is easily removed for cleaning. You reach the eggs by lifting the
top and sliding it forward.
3 hens will comfortably share 1 nest. They will either rotate
their egg laying or 2 will lay at the same time. |
|
|
The Henhut comes via UPS in 2 boxes that weigh respectively
40 pounds and 15 pounds.
The third smaller box on the left contains the feeder/waterer option
which must be ordered separately. |
|
|
Assembly is simple. Screw fiberglass to the wall panels and
the roof frame and then fasten the wall panels together.
|
|
Four Walls and a top. |
