OOh look - 'tis chicken house porn.

[MehgaLegs]

I want the one called The Dell DH reckons he can make me one.

OOh lovely! I could happily live in some of that duck and goose housing

Great link - I'm looking into a new field shelter and they don't charge the earth to put the damned thing up for me.

Some of those chicken arks come with 9 or 15ft runs - fab. And it's not all horrendously expensive.

no no no
THIS is chicken house porn

if these aren't the coolest duck houses in the universe I'd like to know which are

I'm going to try and make one too ...do you all want to become incontinent laughing at my effort ? Will post a picture when it is made.

stripey - was your Smiths chicken house good quality and apart from small run was the house big enough for the number of birds stated?

Because I think I want the Thicket as my 'meat bird house'. 12-18 birds(apparently) and I'd have the 3ft extension. £690 delivered and built. It needs to be sturdy though as it will be at least 3 or 4 acres away from the house (and us and dog etc).

these are very lovely

My three live in a wooden wendy house, but I am building a new house/run for them at the moment. But I would recommend wendy house - easy to get into to clean and collect, and looks cute too.

Mehgalegs - I have The Dell from that first link. Don't really use it now, although my broody is in it at the moment.

Sorry, its the mini dell I've got. It is very nice and the quality is fantastic. Would recommend Smiths to anyone.

Duchess - just noticed your question.

When I bought the mini-dell it said on the website for 4-6 birds and I would have disagreed with that. But notice they have revised their opinion now and put 2-4 birds which I would agree with. Would say the mini-dell is fine (house wise) for 4 birds.

Some people would say the run size is as well, but I prefer them to have more space.

When I placed my order with Smiths I queried whether it was really ok for 6 birds and the girl on the phone said she believed it would nly be suitable for 4. She was very helpful and knew the products well and was honest. I believe its a family firm and she was the daughter. I also haggled 10% of the price by telling them I couldn't afford the full price and they threw in free assemby. Though I don't think there was much assembly to do as dh said it took them about 20mins.
