www.chicubes.co.uk is a supporter of Little Hen Rescue that has already donated 6 chicubes, 2 of which are walk in ones!

 

 

 

If you are interested in buying a Chicube they can be delivered to Little Hen Rescue for collection. We also have show houses and runs if you would like a closer look at one. If you decide to buy through Chicubes.co.uk then please remember to mention you came through 'Little Hen Rescue' 

 

 

 

 Little Hen Rescue highly recommends these houses, having experienced keeping our own resident and injured hens in our donated houses and runs.  We have learned that not being wooden they are very easy to clean, they don't need any maintenance such as painting, they do not rot and are especially good because parasites such as red mite can not survive in them.

 


Chicube (pronounced Chick-cube) - a home or enclosure for chicken, rabbits and other small animals.

How do you like your eggs in the morning?
We like ours delivered by happy chickens. That's why we created Chicubes. Ordinarily, chicken houses are constructed from wood and soon look past their best. Keeping a wooden coop clean and odour free is always a challenge as the yucky smelly stuff gets into the grain of the wood and it's then near impossible to get back to it's best. Chicubes are different...

We took a long hard look at existing chicken coops and re-engineered a solution using modern fabrication techniques and materials. As the old adage goes, 'If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing right!'.  We believe our Chicubes are the perfect solution for keeping birds and small animals safe, secure and happy with the minimum of hassle.

Our Chicubes come in four sizes, with a choice of four different colours. There's also a growing range of accessories to keep your chickens/animals in the 'lap of luxury'.  All Chicubes feature the same easy clean design (spray or wipe down) with hinged lids and stays for inspecting your little friends.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Drop us a line any time at sales@chicubes.co.uk

Product Information

Small Chicube

Dimensions 600 x 600 x 550 + legs

Designed for up to 3 chickens

Made from composite panels which are fully insulated. A plastic outer layer sandwhiches foam and mdf to create a solid and secure structure. The panels are capped with aluminium and are sealed with water proof silicone. These panels are extremely easy to clean and wipe down leaving you with an easy to maintain chicken house which can be kept hygenic with minimum effort.

The beauty of this material is that it can be very easily cleaned and disinfected, allowing you to maintain a completely hygenic chicken house. No need to worry about mite infestation, which can become an on going battle with conventional wooden chicken houses.

People often have trouble with very lightweight chicken houses blowing away in strong winds, this can lead to broken housing and very upset chickens. The Chicube is different, it is heavy enough not to blow away, but still lightweight enough to be easily moved around your garden.

Wooden Chicube

Product Information

Wooden Chicube

Dimensions 600 x 600 x 650 + legs

Designed for up to 3 chickens

The new innovative wooden Chicubes are made from Keruing which is a hardwood and is very strong. The idea behind the wooden Chicubes is to provide a more traditional look but still provide you with an easy to clean house. Each one of our wooden houses comes with a removable fibre glass and resin internal shell. This can be easily lifted out of the Chicube by one person so it can be cleaned. It is light weight but very strong and durable and has a smooth finnish, meaning that dirt and muck can easily be removed from the inside of the house.

Each of our wooden Chicubes and the internal shells is hand made at our factory in Staffordshire by highly skilled joiners and cabinet makers, meaning that each Chicube is always produced to the highest standards and of the best quality.

We are able to make wooden Chicubes from a variety of different woods including Teak, Utile, Oak and Cedar as well as many others. If you would like a wooden Chicube made from one of these woods please contact us for further information and prices.

We also make a range of different sizes of our wooden Chicubes, so if this one is too small please contact us and we will be happy to help you.

Chicubes are delivered to you ready assembled, so no need to worry about flat pack kits. Runs come ready assembled for you upon delivery and will be fixed to your Chicube, so you are ready to go straight away. This is included in the price of delivery.

The run is completely secure with the hatch flap closed. Around the base of the run is a fox flap (approximately 20cm wide) which can be pegged into the ground. This flap provides added security against predators such as foxes, stopping their ability to dig under the side of the run. We recommend that you position your run on firm ground to further prevent the chance of a predator entering your chicken run. Pegs cab be provided to pin the flap to the ground if you require them.

There is a hinged flap on the roof of the run, allowing easy access to the door of of the chicken house, as well as easy access to food and water containers.

We encourage people to let their chickens out of the run, when you can keep an eye on them, to allow them a wider area as possible. Due to this a standard size run is more than adequate in most cases. If for whatever reason you wish to have a bigger run, you can easily add an extension run to the standard size at a later date.
