I made mine out of half a dozen old pallets. Removable front, 2 perches, ramp/door combination for hens to get in, and 3 nest boxes on rear with opening lid to get to eggs. Dogs/fox finally killed off the last of my hens a few years back and not replaced them yet!

Currently being used as a lamb shelter Laughing

We have a shed I think 6" x 5" roughly on concrete blocks. Surrounded by my own design electric fencing ALWAYS keeps the fox out even if they are left out by accident. The birds also never dare to challenge it so all in all a success. Only trouble is the rat's love it Neutral Well accept for whn the feeder at night is electrified also so they don't touch it then Whistle Rolling with laughter

6x5 inches...... Have you got micro-chickens? I might have to report you to the RSPB.

Or do you grow the little chicks that are sold at Easter?
