Features of Winter Chicken Coops
For the majority of the year your chickens will be quite self-sufficient, but during the winter, they will require a little extra attention to keep them clucking contentedly. Winter chicken coops from Cotswold Chickens can provide your hens with the comfortable home they require, and can keep your hens happy throughout the colder months.
We have a range of chicken coops which are ideal for winter, and have detailed some of their features below.
Warm and Cosy
Winter weather can make life uncomfortable for chickens who love pecking in the garden, but a chicken coop can provide them with a cosy home to retreat to when temperatures fall. Cotswold Chickens are stockists of Omlet chicken coops, which are designed to keep your hens warm in the winter and cool in summer.
Twin-walled insulation can provide the protection from the elements that your chickens will require, whilst roosting bars and a nesting box can help your hens to carry on laying happily throughout the winter.
Added Security
During the winter, hungry foxes may become more determined to access your hen house; sneaking under wooden gates and burrowing under fencing. This is why it is important to invest in a secure chicken coop to keep your hens safe from pesky predators. The sturdy design and high-quality materials used in the fabrication of our range of chicken coops means that you can rest assured that your hens will be kept out of harm’s way.
Easy Access and Cleaning
Just as your chickens will be reluctant to remain outdoors for too long, you probably won’t be too eager to spend a long time in the cold cleaning your chicken coop or collecting eggs. The Omlet Eglu Classic and Cube are both easy to clean, which can help you to maintain your chicken coop without freezing, whilst our best-selling chicken coop, the Shipston Hen House, features a large front door and a good height to enable you to quickly and easily collect the eggs.
For cheerful chickens throughout the winter, look no further than one of the winter chicken coops on offer at Cotswold Chickens.
