Based in Suffolk, we specialise in crafting bespoke hen houses, chicken runs, duck houses, nest boxes, aviaries, dovecots, and rabbit hutches that cater to the unique needs of your beloved animals.

We design and build beautiful hen houses, chicken runs, aviaries and nest boxes, plus much more to meet these needs and ensure our customers have happy, housed hens.
Our hen houses are built to allow for a practical and efficient way of cleaning. With an array of distinct designs including The Henley, The Henlet, Oakley, Thrippet, Hargrave, Holbrook, and our Custom line, we invite you to explore the epitome of craftsmanship in Suffolk below.
