Made from treated timber & galvanised steel fixings
Which means our chicken coops are made to withstand harsh weather conditions all year round.
-

All chook pens are customisable with the ability to include:
- Storage & brooder areas- Internal and external nest box access
- Covered walk in coop area with open run

Let customers speak for us
from 32 reviewsGreat feed for my chickens they love it, fantastic service too.
Trev and his beautiful wife produce the most amazing chook food, the quality is hands down the best out there.
The quality and the size. Perfect for our school hens.
I choose The Poodle and The Hen chicken feed for my chooks so they have the best possible diet for breeding.
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.
It’s sweet smelling, contains high quality ingredients with no compromise and it’s nutritionally balanced, our girls have thrived on the chick starter (from a week old) and advanced to the layer/breeder (from 16 weeks of age). The girls absolutely love it, as soon as they’re let out of the coop in the mornings, they’re straight into it! Their enthusiasm each morning, speaks volumes! They started laying from about week 20 (late Jan) and have been consistently laying for us to this day (we’re now the last week of June!) We couldn’t be happier with the development of our girls or with the range of feeds produced by The Poodle & the Hen. Highly recommend! Do your chickens a favour and try The Poodle & the Hen range of chicken feed today, you won’t look back and your chooks will absolutely love it!
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!
Our chooks work hard to produce the best chicks for us which requires the best feed to achieve those results
Looks great, enhances the garden and of course chickens are safe and happy. P&H managed project really well, communication was excellent.
