MAIN ENTRANCE
The door slides up and down with a rope tie off. An optional automatic door is in the works so you don't forget to let the hens out in the morning and keep predators out at night.
END WINDOWS
These windows close for protection against storms and winter weather. The hearts shapes are covered with Lexan. Ventilation: Comes up from the center aisle, the end windows and the eaves.
ROOST
The roost bar is 6' long and as you can see in the photo the hens prefer to sleep like sardines four hens in less than 2' of bar space. When using the optional mini brooder partition the roost bar is only 4' long limiting it to max. of 8 hens.
LIFT ASSIST
Access to eggs is safe and easy as the lift assist arm takes the load off and dampens the speed coming down to add protection for children and chickens.

TRAP DOOR
A trap door in the upper henhouse keeps chicks warm and safe until big enough to move to the lower level. It also serves for keeping the heat in during the winter months with additional plywood installed over the upper screen area.
NESTING BINS
The Henhouse comes with 5 bins. All bins provide for 14" width x 12' deep (large size). Double stacking bins is an option but the number of bins for each chicken is not necessary as most of the time we find four eggs in one bin; they take turns.
MOVING THE HOUSE
Moving the house is made easy by sliding the 2x4 provided through the handles and lifting with 2 people.

The Mini Brooder easily folds up to get in an out and attaches with screws. It has a window that can be closed retain heat or privacy. Also comes with a shortened roost bar.

POOP Tray
The poop tray is designed to slide out for those in urban areas who do not move the house very often. It makes for easy cleanup of poop to be used in compost. High concentration of poop droppings under the coup can burn the grass making it difficult to grow grass. The tray also adds an element of safety against predators that can get under the wire, harass and claw at the chickens feet as well as provide a safe and shading place for little chicks to hide from the sun and air attacks. The tray has a vinyl covering for easy cleaning.
