The Best Chicken House

Every so often something new and exciting comes along that is totally different and in the world of chicken houses there is a development that should shake the free range egg producers to the core!

For years and years people who wanted to have a go at keeping a few chickens on their land had to buy a wooden constructed chicken house to keep their feathered friends in, the main problem with these are that whilst they might look very rural they are just not built to last.

Wood soon degrades due to weather conditions and needs annual maintenance and coating in chemicals that are not too healthy for your birds, the porous nature of wood means that moisture is quickly absorbed and the wood rots and this is a haven for red mites that can affect the health of your laying hens. Thankfully due to a breakthrough in chicken house technology the future of wooden constructed hen houses is in serious danger.
