Chicken coop Pip
with nesting box
Chicken coop Pip is a large and comfortable coop with a classic gable roof, suitable for keeping 10 to 20 chickens. Because the coop is open all the way up to the ridge, the chickens can perch nice and high and the space is used to its full potential.
Inside the coop there are three perches that you can screw in at your preferred height, allowing you to adjust the layout to suit your chickens. The spacious nesting box is divided into three compartments and offers plenty of room for undisturbed egg laying. Through the convenient hatch at the back, you can collect the eggs quickly and easily.
The coop can be securely closed with an aluminium sliding door that is easy to operate using a rope. The roof made of plastic corrugated sheets protects the coop well against rain and other weather conditions.

Information about used materials
This pet house is made from pine wood in the traditional way. Pine wood is a particularly beautiful kind of coniferous wood which has been valued for a long time in our range of pet houses. Especially the wood grain, flame drawing, and changing color shades give the enclosure a solid and warm appearance.
Wood properties
The wood, used for your pet house is a unique natural product which has been processed according to traditional methods in the country of origin, after careful selection. It is characteristic and unique in every way. This wood product has been manually processed. No single piece of wood is the same in shape, structure or color, so color shades are inevitable even within one piece of wood. Wind cracks, imperfections and the presence of large and small knots testify to their origin and years of growth. Bumps are usually manually updated with wood fill. Through use and through the influence of light, new pet houses will finally get a warmer color. Color differences in comparison with the show model or even among themselves are therefore usual. The pet house is stained in the colors as in the picture. You should do it once again to prevent mold and rot. You can easily order the stain together with the pet house.
Hinges and locks/anchorage
It is advisable to treat the hinges and locks periodically with silicone spray or lock spray to prevent rust and corrosion. If the pet house is not in a covered place, we advise you to anchor the house.
