Where can we deliver to?
Orders can be delivered anywhere in mainland England, Wales, and most areas in the lowlands of Scotland. If you live outside these areas we then, unfortunately, cannot deliver our products to you. This includes the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland (IM, GY, JE, BT)
Like most online companies we rely on (3rd party) courier companies to deliver all our orders around the country. As much as we would love to get our products in the hands of as many people as possible the cost of getting our coops to anyone who lives outside mainland England and Wales is prohibitive - sometimes more than the actual cost of the product!
Delivery to Scotland
We can deliver to most lowland areas in Scotland. These include the following postcodes: DD1-7 , DG , EH , FK1-6 , G , KA1-26 , KA29-30 , KY , ML , PA1-19 , PH1-2, TD
If you live outside these areas then unfortunately, we are unable to offer delivery due to the high extra charges levied by the courier companies we use. You are welcome to arrange your own courier to collect from us, or we can deliver the items to a courier up north for onward journey to you.
Delivery to the Isle of Wight
The courier company that we use can deliver to the Isle of Wight. However, there is a delivery surcharge of £30 per order.
1. Can the door opener be used with the Devon Run attached?
Yes, the door opener can be attached to the Devon with the Runs.
You just need to make sure it is positioned as high as the wooden support for the apex allows, around the air vent areas.
The unit covering part of the air slits isn't going to have an effect on ventilation due to the large sliding vent on the other side.
Chickenguard's door openers are used across a whole range of chicken coops so their instructions are a general guideline.
There doesn't strictly have to be 3-4 inches of space. It works perfectly if you reduce the height to around 1inch and this then allows for the door to open fine.
Make sure that the little hole and string are exactly in the middle directly above the hook or screw you secure the line too. This will mean positioning the unit slightly off centre.
You should then be left with around 24 -26 cm for your chickens to enter and exit which is enough height for them to get in and out without issue.

“Everything fitted together so well”
“I received my Sussex coop with double runs today, just as stated. It is a pleasure to deal with such a competent company. I made an error with my evening order (ordered one run instead of two) and after contacting by email the next morning, it was rectified and arrived the next working day. It was so simple to assemble, with easy to understand instructions. Hubby went off to a doctor's appointment, and I had the hen house assembled by the time he got back, half an hour later. Everything fitted together so well and nothing damaged or missing. I will definitely recommend to others.”
By Coralie Fawcett - Lincolnshire“Very very impressed with my Coop”
“WOW fantastic , from placing the order, to receiving, and getting the Coop. Very, very impressed with my Coop. Did not expect the helpful emails.
Have printed them and know I will be referring to them if I need any help.I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending your excellent company and product. So refreshing to deal with a company who obviously care, about the customer and the Chicks.”
By Carole Pritchard - Hampshire“I am over the moon, it looks fantastic!”
“Thank you so much for all your patience with me when ordering the Sussex chicken house. I am over the moon, it looks fantastic ! It was delivered very promptly, when you said, and it took me and my husband 35mins to put together from start to finish, with the help of a cordless screwdriver I might add. The instructions were so easy and clear. Well done to you both and once again thanks for all you help. You have taken away my fear of ordering over the internet.”
By Lorraine Sykes - Yorkshire“Had for a year still looks as good as the newer one”
“I am delighted with my Sussex chicken coop. This is the second one I have ordered from you. I ordered it on Sunday night and it arrived on Tuesday on the Isle of Wight! Brilliant. I noticed that you have fixed the one design defect I noticed from the first one I bought and that is making the ladder removable so it's easier to move to coop around. The coops look lovely in our orchard. The older one which we have had for a year still looks as good as the newer one and there is no sign of any deterioration to the wood or roof.
We bought the second coop because one of our hens is broody and is sitting on 6 eggs so we moved the other 2 hens to the new coop which was very easy because both coops are identical and they didn't notice! Thank you so much and thank you for all the additional information you sent about keeping chickens which is really useful.”
