Hen Houses & Runs

Hen Houses & Runs
Choosing the right housing is one of the most important decisions when keeping hens. A well-designed hen house will keep your birds safe, comfortable, and easy to manage all year round.

Hen houses come in a range of styles and sizes, from standalone coops for free-ranging hens to houses with attached runs for added security. The right option will depend on your space, flock size, and setup.

What to consider when choosing a hen house:

• Size – allow enough space for your hens to perch, nest, and move comfortably
• Security – protection from predators is essential, particularly at night
• Ease of cleaning – a well-designed house should be quick and practical to maintain
• Ventilation – good airflow helps keep hens healthy

Runs provide a secure enclosed space for hens that are not free-ranging. A well-sized run, combined with enrichment, can keep hens happy and safe even in smaller gardens.

Based on our experience, we recommend Omlet chicken coops as a reliable, well-designed option that is easy to maintain and suitable for a wide range of setups. You can view the full range of Omlet housing by clicking the photos below:
