The Sussex Chicken House
The Sussex chicken house has a unique look and has been specifically
designed to give your chickens complete protection from not only any
pesky predators but also the wet and windy weather we so often experience.
Its long slanted roof provides the perfect cover even in driving rain,
and this is one of the reasons why so many people have chosen the Sussex
coop. With over 17.6 square feet of secure space this very popular coop
is perfect for those looking for a combined chicken house and run.
If you allow your hens access to areas outside the coop to roam then
the Sussex can comfortably hold up to 4 hens. If held permanently within
the chicken house and run then we would recommend a pair.

The Sussex chicken house has been created by expert designers and manufactured
by experienced carpenters. The workmanship that has gone into producing
this coop for you is evident in the way it has been beautifully finished
and the attention to detail.
All the woodwork has been jointed, sanded, glued, bolted and finished
to the highest standards.The wood we use in this product is a highly
durable and scented softwood which is noted for its resistance to decay
and rot. We also ensure that an animal friendly wood preservative is
liberally applied to the coops before it leaves the factory ensuring
a long life.

The large doors to the run and nesting area make cleaning and accessing
very easy. Four mini Perspex windows allow lots of light into the internal
area of the coop which will keep your hens happy.
The large nesting box provides a cosy area for your birds to lay their
eggs and the lift up lid makes it even easier to collect them, without
disturbing your flock. Two thin slits above the nesting box provide
the housing area with the all important draft free ventilation which
is need to keep your hens healthy.

The Sussex coop like the Dorset Coop has a clever door opening mechanism
which allows the door to the run to be conveniently opened from the
outside. A handy little ramp allows your hens easy access in and out
of the nesting and sleeping area, which is raised, giving your birds
more ground in which to scratch around in, as well as keeping things
dry. The chicken house is also fox-proof using strong galvanized chicken
wire.
Some other features include:
- A pull out tray under the nesting area which makes cleaning the
coop a quick and simple process.
- Large front door into the run gives you easy acess.
- Stainless steel rust proof locks ensure that your chickens are always
100% safe.
- No felt on the ramp like that found in so
many other coops - helps prevent redmite.
- Heavy duty, waterproofed slanted roof keeps everything nice and
dry, during even the foulest of weather conditions.
- Ventialtion slots (currently not shown in
the pictures) which are situated above the perching height of your
chickens - keeps your hens with a constant supply of draft free air.
- All the timber is planed to avoid splintering.

preservative and water repellent properties.

- "I would recommend this coop anyone"
We chose this hutch as we were looking
for a more enclosed coop which could be moved around our garden. After
searching the net for coops we looked at chickencoopdirect, the images
on the site showed us how the loked and the quality, by providing
plenty of different shots it was easy to decide on a coop.
At the time the coop was out of stock but as we were willing to wait
i was able to get a fantastic deal.The coop was easy to construct,
having the pictures on the net helped when we did have a small problem.The
coop is suitable for most small gardens with a flock of 3-4 birds.
The look of this coop is what is important as well as the safety features,
to protect the birds at night.I would recommend this coop anyone,
the service we received was excellent the company kept us informed
throughout process and of the delivery date. Many thanks.

- "The coop is well made and strong,
and fits well into the garden"
I am very pleased with my coop, but
I have no hens yet, sadly. I have promised to get some 'rescue'
hens.The coop is well made and strong, and fits well into the garden.
It was quite straightforward to put together.Many thanks,

- "A great little house"
Thanks so much for getting the coup

never know...we may get an egg at some point!! Its a great little
house for them and was put together very easily. Its very pretty and
looks very in keeping with our rural idyl. Kind regards,

- "I brought mine as a bit of an
extravagance"
Here is my feedback on the Sussex
Coop. I purchased two coops one for myself and one for my daughters
care home. The one at the care home is not yet set up but I am convinced
will bring great joy to the young adults who live there once they
get their chickens. I brought mine as a bit of an extravagance.
I already have a larger coop but felt that my three bantams were
being a little bullied by the 7 regular sized chickens. Therefore
I decided to buy another coop and found yours on the web site after
doing a google search. It is perfect for my needs and provides a
decent sized living space. As with my other coop one of the prime
reasons for buying this particular model is that they can get up
in the morning and roam about in the 'run' whether I have actually
got out of bed and let them out or not!! They then wait for myself
or one of the farm hands to open the run and let them out into the
grass area where they can spend a happy day scratching around before
going back to bed. I was impressed when it was put together by he
amount of doors and the easy access to various parts of the coop
and after the 1st night everyone seems happy
