The Long-Legged Hobby Hen House

The Hobby Henhouse is a very popular starter chicken house and here we have added some height by giving it 18 inch (45cm) long legs. This will provide shelter and shade for the hens as well as somewhere to place the feeder to keep it dry.

As with the 'shorter' Hobby Hen house, it will take up to 6 medium-size laying hens on removable perches and has an internal nest tray.

The Hobby Henhouse arrives ready assembled (it cannot be flatpacked). For current delivery timescales see Delivery Tab.

Perfect, too, for up to 7 or 8 bantams, including a bantam cockerel. Larger cockerels would not be quite so happy as the headroom inside is limited, therefore we would only advise smaller or bantam cockerels.

With the longer legs it means less bending down so cleaning is easier to do. The pop-hole door folds down onto the long ladder and doubles as a little ramp, the back door lifts out to allow easy access for cleaning and egg collecting. Both the nest tray and perches can be removed for cleaning.

For more details about the timber we use, how to keep it waterproof and take care of it over the years please visit the About our Houses page.

For more daytime security or control, a 6ft or 9ft long Run is also available. If you buy the house and run together - you can save up to £20!

The Hobby House is VSD Auto Door Opener compatible and we offer a complete kit. We will fit the VSD Door Kit for you if ordered with the hen house.
