What's new in chicken coops

Hugh & Fiona Osborne have reviewed a new chicken coop brand by Chick'A. Their conclusion? It's great quality and fantastic value!

As Buff Orpington breeders, we have lots of coops. We let every broody hen have their own coop as they can be raising up to 15 chicks at a time. Sometimes we have eight broodies, plus other hens for eggs and a “main coop” for the hens that aren’t brooding. Then we have two more coops in our 600 square foot wired run that we use during Avian Influenza housing orders. We have plastic coops, wooden coops, self-built coops and we've tested many major brands. The Chick’A did look very well designed and at a fantastic price, so we decided to test out the medium sized “Harmony” coop.

THE HARMONY CHICKEN COOP

The coop is made of 70% recycled plastic which gives the inside a smooth finish.
