Chicken Coop Elise

In the lovely Elise chicken coop you can keep chickens, chicks, quails, rabbits and also guinea pigs.

It is advisable to let the chickens run freely or in a small enclosure during the day.

The coop is made of softwood, non-toxic and impregnated against moisture. The wire mesh is galvanised and offers good protection against predators such as martens and foxes.

With the metal slide you can easily close and open the door between the main house and the run from the outside. Two perches provide a species-appropriate place to sleep.

The drawer has a high-quality plastic tray and is therefore super easy to clean.

The back of the coop is also made of wood and has a sliding door for opening and closing the ventilation. The ventilation can be opened to optimise air circulation.

The roof and the nesting box are covered with roofing felt. The lid of the nesting box opens easily. This way you can easily collect the eggs.

The legal regulations for organic farming stipulate the following for laying hens with regard to housing area:
A maximum of 6 animals may be kept per square metre of housing area.

How many chickens for my household:
On average, laying hens can lay between 180 and 220 eggs per year. With 3 laying hens we calculate 3 x an average of 200 eggs = 600 eggs per year, which is about 11 eggs per week. It is clear that 3 laying hens are usually sufficient for a family. There are breeds that lay even more eggs.

The best place to set it up:
In summer, the small animal hutch should be placed in the shade to protect the animals from overheating. It is best to set up the hutch sheltered from wind and rain. This way the hutch can be a home for your pets for a long time.
