Green Frog Design Ltd Medium Chicken Lodge is suitable for up to four large or six small chickens. It is a raised version of the Chicken House, giving your birds shelter from the sun and the rain, as well as reducing the chance of rodents nesting under the house. The gap underneath is 22.5cm tall, enough for most birds to get underneath where they tend to scrape out a dust bath. The door is designed so that it won’t trap dirt in the door slots, and it can be easily opened and closed. Access to inspect the birds can be gained via a full width back door which detaches using quick release pins. When the door is removed, there is no ‘lip’ on the floor edge. This, and the fact that the roof removes in seconds as well, makes regular cleaning a breeze. Access to the double nesting box is quick and easy – just remove two quick release pins. And the nest box lid can be completely removed for cleaning by undoing two more quick release pins. Four fully adjustable circular vents provide plenty of ventilation. Even though the sides are made from black plastic, the house remains surprisingly cool, even in strong, direct summer sunlight. Being plastic, the Lodge requires no maintenance. There are few crevices for pests (such as red mite) to hide in, and the house can be thoroughly cleaned very easily. Carry handles are cut into the roof. Can be flat packed.
