This house will accommodate up to 24 standard laying hens. It has been surveyed and approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and complies with the regulations on the keeping of FREE RANGE birds and selling their eggs as such. Will also accommodated up to 12 larger fowl and a cockerel.

Options:  

Acclimatising wall: A weld mesh door which is fitted behind the removable wall which, although is removable for cleaning, would normally stay fitted. When you wish to harden off young birds you simply remove the wall to reveal the weld mesh and your stock stays in the ark. The side wall goes back over the wire at night so at no time do quick agile chicks get a chance to "make a break for it".
Second Pophole door: This would go opposite the existing door. The need of this becomes apparent if the run is divided in two. The bird would be released into the run you have designated. If you have a large single run, the door is still useful in so much as you can control the mud paddling at the entrance by making the birds use the back door.
Ramp: A large ramp stops mud paddling at the entrance and of course, helps small stock into the ark.

Rye run: Used as a stand alone unit or as a run extension

Dimensions: 

 All of the Lenham range have removable nest boxes and side walls, removable perching, full length ridge ventilation, and carrying handles. The internal arrangements are made to keep cleaning as easy as possible. The external access nest box bank and the wall opposite lift away from and house and so , in a few moments the house is open right through for maximum access. 

The removable perching has been arranged in two banks either side of the central pop hole door and are angled to rise away from the door. This encourages the early roosting birds to occupy the highest perches and, therefore, the furthest from the door so avoiding congestion - even the birds at the bottom end of the pecking order get a perch. The walled corridor between the perch banks may be drawn out through the pop hole door, with the perches and corridor fitted the hens cannot get under the perching, so are barred access to accumulated night droppings. The central corridor has another advantage in being the only part of the ark floor the birds can walk on before mounting a perch, so takes the brunt of any soiling brought into the house by the hens. Because it can be removed, the normally tedious task of scraping dried compact soiling becomes much easier. 

Incorporated night shutters which when in place, stop occupation of the nests.
