FEEDERS & DRINKERS for your Coop Features - The external access nest box bank and the wall
opposite lift away from and house and so, in a few moments the house is open
right through for maximum access.
- The removable perching has been arranged in two banks
either side of the central pop hole door and are angled to rise away from the
door. This encourages the early roosting birds to occupy the highest perches
and, therefore, the furthest from the door so avoiding congestion - even the
birds at the bottom end of the pecking order get a perch.
- The walled corridor between the perch banks may be
drawn out through the pop hole door. With the perches and corridor
fitted, the hens cannot get under the perching and so are barred access
to accumulated night droppings.
- The central corridor is the only part of the ark
floor the birds can walk on before mounting a perch, so takes the brunt of any
soiling brought into the house by the hens. Because it can be removed, the
normally tedious task of scraping dried compact soiling becomes much easier.
- Incorporated night shutters stop occupation of the nests, keeping fouling to a minimum and therefore keeping eggs free from soiling and dirt.
Optional Extras (see additional pictures) Acclimatising Wall: A
weld mesh door which is fitted behind the removeable wall opposite the next bank, which although it is removeable for cleaning, would normally stay fitted. When you wish to harden off young birds you simply remove the external board wall to reveal the weld mesh and your stock stays in the ark. The side wall goes back over the wire at night, so at no time do quick agile chicks get a chance to run off.
Ramp A large ramp stops mud paddling at the entrance and of course helps small stock into the ark. 2nd Pophole Door This would go opposite the existing door. The need for this becomes apparent if the run is divided into two. The bird would be released into the the run you have designated. If you have a large single run the door is still useful in so much as you can control the mud paddling at the entrance by making the birds use the back door.
