Rowlinson Chicken Coop

£312.00

Designed for chickens who also have access to an outdoor pen - ideal for observation by children of all ages - the Rowlinson Chicken Coop provides a comfortable home for up to six chickens. Collecting newly laid eggs is the most satisfying activity for any child, allowing them to understand where their food comes from. This Rowlinson Chicken Coop creates an environment that puts chickens at ease (so they lay eggs) and makes it easy for school children to collect the freshly laid eggs.

Comfortable Roosting

With internal perches and a three compartment nest box, the Rowlinson Chicken Coop provides your poultry with the privacy and comfort they need to be frequent egg layers.  The included ramp gives your chickens easy access to outdoor exercise space meaning children can still watch them and learn. The coop's sliding front door with hook support enables you to control your chickens' access to the outdoor pen, and can be locked shut at night to keep your chickens safe from predators. Your chickens can also be safely locked inside during sports day or other school events, keeping them safe from the risk of injury.

Accessible for Collecting Eggs, Petting, and Cleaning

A removable lid on the nesting box allows ready access to fresh, still warm eggs at any time of day, so you can collect eggs without opening the main door of the coop and disturbing your chickens.  The rear door on the coop can be opened to pet chickens or to pick them up without having to enter their outdoor pen.  The coop's floor slides out for simple and easy cleaning. This means school boys and girls can experience the joy of collecting eggs that their own chickens have produced in a clean and safe environment.

Built to last by a family business

Constructed with high quality untreated FSC Certified Timber from well-managed forests, the Rowlinson Chicken Coop is an asset for any school.  Built by Rowlinson, a UK family business established in 1926, the coop is designed to last, with an expected life span of 10-15 years if it is well looked after, as generations of small minds pass through the school gates.

Benefits of keeping chickens

Chickens will provide you with fresh eggs, free organic compost, and hours of pleasure for children of all ages. Keeping chickens will give parents and children peace of mind that eggs are being laid by a chicken that is well looked after.

A chicken needs access to 3-4 square feet of outdoor space, so we recommend an outdoor pen of 18-24 square feet is accessible to the six chickens kept in your Rowlinson Chicken Coop.  If you have a schoolyard or outdoor area that is secure, you can, of course, let your chickens roam free. Otherwise, a suitable run can be created using our Poultry Netting. For more information, see our guide to keeping chickens.
