The ‘Eggsquisite’ Walk-In Chicken Coop

Description

The Ultimate Avian Residence

Providing a healthy, secure environment for a large flock requires generous space, robust materials, and intelligent design. The Eggsquisite caters to all three. Handcrafted in Cape Town, this structure relies on expert joinery and is built using solid pine rather than the flimsy materials often found in mass-produced alternatives.

Every single wooden component is carefully sealed before assembly to guarantee exceptional longevity, structural integrity, and complete waterproofing against the unpredictable South African elements.

12 Years of Design Perfection

This premium walk-in wooden chicken coop represents over a decade of continuous design evolution. Every aspect of the structure has been refined to achieve perfection in poultry housing, ensuring ultimate user-friendliness for the keeper and maximum comfort for the residents. You can trust that the housing you provide your birds is backed by proven, practical experience.

The full-height access door allows you to walk right in, making cleaning and socialising effortless. Hidden ventilation channels promote constant airflow to prevent overheating during hot summers, while two thick Perspex windows flood the interior with natural light and keep nocturnal visitors firmly at bay.

Complete Henhouse Features

To further streamline your daily routine, we have integrated clever feeding and watering systems directly into the design. The thoughtfully placed elevated platform keeps the provided  3-litre water fountain completely free from ground contamination.

• Breed Suitability: The pop-hole aperture measures 31 cm by 20 cm, ensuring easy entry for standard breeds while acting as a reliable benchmark for capacity. Housing giant breeds like Brahmas will naturally reduce the maximum flock capacity.

• Maintenance Access: Two hinged doors and two slide-out dropping trays make daily sanitation swift and hassle-free.

• Generous Egg Box: Features a hook-up hinged lid and four comfortable nesting compartments. Three, and up to seven hens will happily share one nest in succession.

• Custom Roosts: Four perches at varying elevations and diameters accommodate your flock’s natural hierarchy.

Spacious Chicken Run Specifications

• Entertainment: Includes cabbage netting and a chicken swing to reduce boredom and encourage natural foraging behaviours.

• Total Height: 2 m

• Total Width: 1.4 m

• Total Length: 3.5 m

• Run Floor Space: 4.5 square metres, giving up to twelve standard-sized hens ample room to stretch and scratch.
