Devon chicken house with large run

This traditional looking Devon Hen House has been lovingly crafted from scented softwood and is able to comfortably house up to 6 to 7 medium-sized chickens. (See the FAQ tab above for our recommendations on run space.)

The Devon hen house

A large nesting box (which can be assembled on either side of the hen house) allows you to easily collect your eggs in a matter of minutes without disturbing your flock.

Heavy duty clasps

This can be securely locked thanks to the 2 heavy-duty stainless steel latches which are supplied with your coop. The nesting box can also be easily unbolted from the side of the house should you need to gain access for cleaning.

The Devon hen house nesting box

The large nesting box also has 3 cosy areas which will allow your hens the perfect place to lay, ensuring that you are rewarded with a constant and fresh supply every morning.

Inside the Devon coop

Inside you will also see that there are 3 separate perches, properly designed and positioned high up allowing plenty of roosting room for all your chickens.

Another great feature of the Devon model is that it also comes with a vertically opening pop hole which allows you to fit an automatic door opener.

During assembly, you can choose to have either the pop hole panel positioned as the front or the sliding doors, whichever option you find more practical or visually appealing.

The rear of the Devon hen house

The handy runs can be securely attached to the Devon hen house using the screws supplied or simply pushed up flush against it if you prefer a less permanent run area for your hens.

Both runs on the same side

The two large lockable doors on each side of the run (four doors in total) gives you easy access should you wish to change your chickens' water or top up a feeder with food.

The Devon with double run

You can also choose to join the two runs together to make one extra-long run like the image below. You can also easily add more Devon Runs to extend your setup at a later stage if needed.

Devon with runs open

We recommend 1 add-on Devon Run per every 1 - 1.5 medium-sized hens if you intend to keep them inside the entire time.

The Devon Hen House and runs are supplied flat packed for easy home assembly. This set comes flat packed in 4 boxes. Instructions are included. All you will need is a small screwdriver and an adjusting spanner.

 

How many hens can the Devon and Double Run hold?

It really will depend on the breed of chicken and the size of the breed and how you intend to keep them. The raised roosting and nesting area of the Devon Hen House will hold 6 to 7 medium-sized birds quite comfortably. (Some customers do keep more but we feel 6 to 7 hens is optimal).

What is probably more important to consider is the amount of space they will have during the day. If you intend to give them time to roam around your garden then the run space is less of a determining factor and 6 to 7 hens would be perfectly fine. However, if they are to spend their entire day inside the Devon with Double Run then we would suggest that you look to keep up to 3 medium-sized hens or 4 bantams.

The benefit of all our coops is that the run can be easily extended at a later date should the need arise and in theory you can add as many run extensions as you need. On a side, note we always recommend that whatever your circumstance and set up that you try and give your hens a few hours outside their coop and run in the late afternoon and early evening.

 

Wood & General Maintenance

The wood we use in this product is a highly durable and scented softwood which is noted for its resistance to decay and rot. Our wooden coops are treated with a base coat of wood preservative but as with all outdoor wooden structures, we recommend that you treat your coop with a high-quality varnish or wood preservative once a year (preferably before the winter season) to maintain the applied preservative and water repellent properties. We also highly recommend that you try and position your chicken coop in a protected area which is not overly exposed to high winds and the elements.

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 £70 per order. 

 

*This is an estimate based on the majority of orders sent, however, we cannot absolutely guarantee it.

1. How many hens can the Devon hold?

It really will depend on the breed of chicken and the size of the breed and how you intend to keep them. The raised roosting and nesting area of the Devon Hen House will hold 6 to 7 medium sized birds quite comfortably. Some customers have kept more inside but we feel up to 7 hens is optimal.

 

What is probably more important to consider is the amount of space they will have during the day. If you intend to give them time to roam around your garden then the run space is less of a determining factor and 6 to 7 hens would be perfectly fine.

 

However, if they are to spend their entire day inside the Devon with Double Run then personally I would suggest 3 medium-sized hens or 4 bantams.

 

The benefit of all our coops with that the run can be extended at a later date should the need arise and in theory, you can add as many run extensions as you need.

 

On a side note, we highly recommend that whatever your circumstance and set up if you can give your hens a few hours outside their coop and run in the late afternoon and early evening they will be much happier and healthier for it and will probably reward you with a constant supply of fresh eggs!

 

2. Can I fit an Automatic Door Opener to this coop?

Yes, the Devon Hen House has been specifically designed so it can be fitted with an automatic door opener. We use and recommend these door opener kits.

 

3. Can I have the Devon with a vertical (pop-hole) door?

The Devon comes with both a vertical opening (pop-door) and a sliding door. There are two 'front' panels. One has the sliding door and the other the pop hole door. You can choose to face either one in the front.

 

4. Is the wood treated?

The Devon Hen House comes with a light base coat of wood preservative

But as with all outdoor wooden structures in our harsh climate, we recommend that the timber is treated on a regular basis to ensure a long life.

If the coop is treated, to begin with, and thereafter on a yearly basis, and is well looked after and cleaned regularly there is no reason why a lifespan of 5 to 7 years could not be expected.

There are many popular products available with Cuprinol and Ronseal amongst the better-known brands. If you are looking for a clear wood preserver that will keep the colour of your coop then try this.

 

5. How easily can the Devon & Double Run be moved?

It's not difficult but you will need an extra pair of hands.

If you have a Devon with Run or Devon with Double Run and want to move your coop then the answer would be to first disconnect the runs from the coop and move each section separately.

If you want to do this on a regular basis then it's best not to permanently secure the run to the hen house with the screws supplied. Instead, you could choose to simply position the run, up against the hen house or if you want a bit more security then use a hook and eye type latch like this and secure the hook to the side of the Hen House and the eye to the side of the run. That way you can simply unlatch the run from the coop whenever you need to move it.

 

6. Is the Devon fox-proof?

We would like to think that our coops are made to a higher standard than most other suppliers in this price range. While we have purposely used thicker, sturdier wood, wire and locks with the aim to make it as safe and secure as possible for your chickens we cannot absolutely guarantee that foxes and other predators won’t try and target them. Foxes are by far the biggest threat that your pets will face, so if you are going to keep chickens then we also urge you to take these added precautions, especially if you know that you have foxes in your area.
