Meet our Small Chook House. The 2022 edition features; a nesting box lid holding chain, full access door, side step and ramp all included. That's alongside a capacity for up to 6 chooks, a mesh floor so that the manure drops straight through, a double egg box, colorbond roof and an entry and exit door located to the side you want it.![]()
We hand make our chook houses in our workshop in Brunswick and use ethical and locally sourced untreated Golden Cypress which will outlast most other timber houses on the market.![]()
Our houses can integrate into existing chook systems and if your system isn't fox proof we can install a lockable door on the house to keep your hens safe and sound.![]()
If you aren't on our waitlist for one of these then get in touch now before our next price increase. Prices start at $1200 inc GST with free pickup from our workshop or delivery around Melbourne for a fee.![]()
