I usually write about bees and beekeeping but in my journey to find the good life I’m considering chickens.
I have written a review of the Eglu by Omlet – a beautifully designed, plastic, assembled hive, which houses 4, 6 or 10 chickens.
Amazon is also a good source for value chicken coops. The leading brands often put their products on Amazon and sell at a discount. I have researched flat pack and assembled chicken coops and identified the following three represent good value:
Small Chicken Coop | Large Chicken Coop | Assembled Chicken Coop |
---|---|---|
- 5 bird chicken coop - Metal pull-out tray for easy cleaning - Totally fox proof - Flat pack, requires assembly | - 12 bird chicken coop - Metal pull-out tray for easy cleaning - Totally fox proof - Flat pack, requires assembly | - 6 bird chicken coop - Hand-built |
RRP: £300, reduced to £100 | RRP: £350, reduced to £125 | RRP: £320 |
If you want to buy a book on keeping chickens, the following one is very popular:
Good luck with your chickens.
