The quality and the size. Perfect for our school hens.
From us first showing Trevor our old pre-fab coop (it was only 12 months old) that was falling to bits, I knew that asking Poodle & Hen to build us a coop that would last, be safe for our chooks, look good and be a robust structural, would be delivered. I cannot say how grateful we are to poodle & hen for making us snd our chooks the loveliest coop. Poodle snd hen were easy to deal with. Nothing was a drama. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. I would suggest anyone thinking of getting a coop, invest a bit more money in a solid coop that will last. Don’t buy the plywood version that will not withstand weather. We wasted quite a lot of money getting a bad coop, had to get it built snd it was rubbish materials.
Trevor nailed our brief by creating an accessible chicken coop ensuring that every child in our inclusive schools is able to access each part of the chicken coop. The position of overall design of the space allows for the chickens to be part of our school community for our students to enjoy and learn from.
From the very first enquiry the team from poodle and the hen were very responsive. Trev came out when he said he would, and apart from a little rain, everything ran smoothly! My girls love their Coop, (what's not to love) I love that they are dry, warm and safe. Thank you to everyone involved, it was an easy and fun process!!
Trevor knows his stuff.. His enthusiasm and expert knowledge about all things about Chickens was outstanding!
Looks great, enhances the garden and of course chickens are safe and happy. P&H managed project really well, communication was excellent.
