We are now stockists of HOTLINE Electric Poultry Fencing!
Great news for you and your hens, not so good for Mr Fox!
Each of the houses in our range is a scaled version, or close variation of the same blueprint.
The key design features have all evolved from keeping hens ourselves for over 25 years. All this experience has been incorporated into the hand crafted high specification hen houses that we design and build here at Devon Hen Houses.
All our hen houses have these key features, and more that any hen needs. They work beautifully to provide you with many years of faithful service.
We are really proud of the houses we build and service we provide. Please take a look at our customer reviews to see for yourself.
Our houses are also featured on The Made By The Hands of Britain craft directory, and are recommended by the Chicken Vet too.
Order any house, and receive a droppings board for free, saving you at least £25

Top quality materials
We only use construction grade Douglas fir timber, sawn and tanalised locally for us by Rattery Sawmills. This means that your house will be maintenance free and resistant from any rot for at least twenty years.
For our stock houses we use construction grade roofing materials called Onduline and Coroline. This has a manufactures guarantee of 15 years, and has the added benefit of being red mite resistant.
Strong aesthetic appeal.
The houses look fantastic, being something to admire in the garden or paddock.
• Easy Cleaning. Full height rear doors make cleaning out really easy.
Being raised up means you are able to sweep out straight into a wheelbarrow or bucket. All perches and internal nesting boxes are also removable for ease of cleaning.
• Comfortable height.
This helps with collecting eggs and cleaning. No more stooping down to ground level.
• Shelter under the house.
Raised area provides shelter for the hens from the rain and sun, and the covered area under the house is great for their food.
• Maximized run area.
A large proportion of ground is often lost just to sit the house on, but not with a Devon Hen House.
• Anti vermin.
Rats no longer have anywhere to live underneath the house, which is excellent as they are known to get in to steal eggs and upset hens.
• Predator Proof
As the classic quote from Des Pearce, a local farmer suggests ’I’ve never seen a badger on its hind legs’, having our houses raised off the ground has defiantly reduced the risk of predators getting in. It makes it that little bit harder.
Although not scientifically proven to be 100% fox and badger proof, we have not had any problems since! The most important thing to ensure is that your hen house is shut up at dusk each evening, or your house is within a fully enclosed run such as our run attachments.
