Orpington Lodge Hen House – Chicken Coop for 6 Chickens

Is this the right coop for 6 chickens? There are factors to consider like:

• What chicken breeds are you getting
• Are you able to let them free-range?

 We recommend taking a look at the dimensions below, remembering your girls are only going to be in the hen house to roost at night and lay their eggs. It’s also good to remember the chickens share nesting boxes and stand side by side on the roosting rods. This chicken coop for 6 hens does not include a Run in case you want to expand your setup or in case you already have a run extension.

Features:

• Easy to clean: Includes pull-out tray to catch their waste for easy cleaning and access doors under the coop
• Easy Access: Doors under each nesting box for easy access to the space under the hen house.
• Quality Construction: supporting braces between run panels, Acrylic sliding window, Fold down and LOCKING window covers! VERY SOLID with support under the nesting box, diagonal wood supports on all panels and tongue and groove joints.
• Quality Components: heavy gauge hardware, .5” wire mesh, Ajustlock bolt latches for easy locking in cold weather.
• Weatherproof: Plastic flashing to keep water out of the Nesting Boxes and hard plastic lining under all roof panels.

The Orpington Lodge Hen House is solid! You can take comfort in knowing that your hens are safe from harmful predators in this strong high-quality built backyard chicken coop. Tongue and groove construction, quality hardware, designed by a family that has backyard chickens. Easy to clean and maintain with a sliding plastic poop tray (metal over time runs with the strength of chicken poop), a sliding door to secure your hens at night, large nesting boxes with easy access, additional roosting rods, etc. This chicken coop for 6 hens is being sold separately in case you want to expand your setup or in case you already have a run extension.

Given that your chicken coop kit for 6 chickens will be exposed to the elements around the clock, we highly recommend staining, lacquering, or painting it. The initial stain serves as a base coat and does not provide long-term protection from the weather. During transit, parts might get dinged or scratched, so you might need to touch up the coop before applying stain or paint. After setting it up, we suggest anchoring it down, which can be as simple as placing a stake on each side of the hen house and run area.

Final Suggestions:

Since they are made of wood and will be outside 24/7, we STRONGLY recommend that you stain, lacquer or paint your coop. The stain applied is a base coat that is not designed to protect your coop long-term from the elements.  Often in transit parts can get dinged or scratched etc. You may need to touch up your coop before staining or painting it! Once set up we recommend anchoring it down, this can be as simple as a stake on each side of the hen house and run area.

As much as we have tried to predator-proof our chicken coop kits for 6 chickens, you know your area best and you may want to put wire chicken wire or preferably hardware cloth around your coop, or put pavers. You'll always want to double-check hardware and latches to make sure everything is tight and secure. For larger predators like bears you will want to look at installing an electric fence around the perimeter.
