inside knowledge

[raine]

Hs anyone got any pictures of the INSIDE of their hen house so that I can get a better idea of what is needed? I'm only looking to have 3 birds so it would be useful if anything was about gthat big but anything will do!
Thanks

I don't have any pics of the inside of my house! But, I will happily take one or two for you tomorrow. I have three birds, but mine is big enough for MANY, MANY more!!! He he he....

Mine's a converted wendyhouse, so the layouts probably different, it's big enough for about 12 but we've just got 4.
We made 3 nestboxes as it 'sort of fitted' and there's a perch they can jump to to get into the nestboxes/onto the perch, the perch is slightly higher (they all managed to get to that straight away even theo they are ex batts, it's about 2ft from the floor).

I managed to take some dodgy pictures today...they're not great, but I had no idea how awkward it would be to take piccies of the inside of the house!!

Anyway...here they are.

I don't keep hens Bephlam but that's a good looking set up you have for them there. Lucky hens and well done to you.

Hey- they're all really impressive.It's given me a better idea of where to put the nest boxes etc. How high are the perches from the floor? Thanks for taking the trouble to take the pics-I'm sure it couldn't have been easy!

mines a converted garden shed
sorry i haven't figured out how to add photos yet

[Bephlam]

I only have two perches inside, but may need to add more as I add more chickens!! lol. One is quite low - about a foot up maybe, and the other is about 2 foot high. They surprise you how high they'll hop up for heat....the colder the night, the higher they'll go...to stay warm!! Although, mine have a HORRIBLE habit of sleeping in the nest box just now!! Grrr...still, they'll stop when I take action!
