Timeless Chicken Coop Design
Its elegant design has stood the test of time and has become a chicken house design classic. The Boughton is our best selling wooden chicken house and provides comfortable accommodation for up to six chickens. It is the ideal solution for the first time chicken keeper.
The Boughton hen house is specifically designed for bantams and medium sized birds, who will find the warm interior and private nest box very much to their liking.
Easy To Clean Chicken Coop
The Boughton chicken house has full length side doors which allow easy access to the inside of the house. The retractable ramp means you can get into all areas of the house when cleaning.
The Boughton is easy to move around the garden with its stout carrying handles. If you’re looking to leave your hen house in place, or have limited space, the carry handles can be easily removed.
Space Efficient
The Boughton uses less space than other traditional arks because the sleeping area is located directly over the run. This design also means the chickens are protected from the sun and rain.
Secure Fox-Resistant Chicken Coop
The house has an easy to use, hinged ladder which may be drawn up from outside to secure the birds at night.
Easy Egg Collection
The nesting box is located at the end of the chicken ark and has an external egg collecting door. It is very easy for children to use – so they can run down in the morning to collect the eggs.
Free Range Run Door
You can access all areas of the run using the handy doors at each end. This makes it very easy to catch a chicken, let them out of the run, or top up the feeders and drinkers.
Made from Durable Whitewood Picea Abies
Many wooden chicken coops are made from low-grade Chinese softwood, but not The Boughton. This chicken coop is made from durable Whitewood Picea Abies, a strong and sustainably-farmed Norwegian Spruce. The plastic latches and metal fixings complete this high quality wooden chicken coop.
All the sections we use are planed all round so there are no scruffy faces or splinters, so the wood is ready for you to paint as soon as it arrives.
Boughton Specifications
The Forsham Cottage Arks Boughton Chicken Ark is designed for up to six medium sized chickens. As they require additional head height in the nesting area, the Boughton is not recommended for larger breeds such as Buff Orpingtons or Cochins.
