Sussex Chicken Run
The Sussex Run has been specifically designed to fit our range of Sussex Chicken Houses. Made from the same durable wood as all our chicken coops the run will give your hens another 11 square feet of safe and secure space to roam.
There is a large fully opening door which allows you access. The Sussex Run has also been fitted with a higher grade type of wire mesh. In fact, the heavy duty wire mesh is 50% thicker than many of the other online suppliers.
This increase in quality and thickness makes the run more sturdy. The heavy duty wire has also been set into the wooden framework which adds to the rigidity of the entire run structure.
Measurements & Maintenance
Our runs use 1.5mm thick wire supported by a strong 35mm x 25mm timber framework.

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.

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!

1. Can I join a single Sussex Run onto the one I already have?
Yes, you can join as many runs together to form as long a run as you like. It's just a matter of leaving off the square end panel on the run that is joining the one in front. The Sussex Run comes with all the necessary screws and instructions to do this. It quite straight forward.
2. How does the run attach to the coop?
Special brackets are supplied to secure it to the coop but you can just leave it pushed up against it if it safe to do so. Some customers use these hook and eye latches which allow you to secure the run to your coop for security and then simply unhook the run if every you need to move it.
3. Is the wood treated?
Yes, the Sussex Run 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.
4. How do I purchase a Double Sussex Run?
The double Sussex Run is simply two single runs joined together with the end panel of one of the runs left off. If you wish to purchase the Double you just need to order 2 x single Sussex Runs.
5. Is the Sussex Run fox-proof?
We would like to think that our coops and runs 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 your chickens then we also urge you to take these added precautions especially if you know you have foxes in your area.

“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.”
