About this listing

We live in a beautiful rural valley near Salisbury, and within easy reach of Shaftesbury, Verwood, Ringwood, Amesbury, and other locations.

We have 6 of our own bantam chickens but two coops, so we are renting out our extra coop to you!

The coop is in our back garden and has some shade from 2 trees, although in summer we lay a blanket over the run to provide even more.

Cleaning practices

We clean our coop before your stay and add fresh bedding (dry wood shavings). We also spray mite spray routinely and add dicotomous earth to the bedding. Security is important and so we have an enclosed run attached to the coop. We also have a "Foxlight" which shines different colour lights in random sweeps of time and direction, to mimic a human with a torch. This has proven to deter predators in many countries and has worked well for us so far.
