Verified Reviews for Boughton Chicken Coop by Forsham Cottage Arks

I bought a Boughton and am delighted with it. It is beautifully designed and easy to assemble with sensible pictures of the assembly stages. May I offer four suggestions? 1 It should be possible within the price for you to tanalise [not sure of spelling] the timber. However, I have put preservative on the outside of mine and it really looks good in green. 2 The instructions miss off one stage at the end. I realised this when I had a loose part and two screws left. The perch support needs the screws from underneath. 3 I cut and fitted a 4' broom handle [£2 from B+Q] for a downstairs perch across the coop.. The bantams love it. 4 The coop is ideal for no more than 2 or 3 bantams if no extra run is attached. Hope these comments are helpful. John Murfitt Cornwall

Some of the panels were split through and were replaced. It’s a pity this is now made of using a soft wood, even with wood preservative not sure it will last as long as my old original one has. However Polly was extremely helpful in replacing parts that were split through.

Purchased coop as liked look of it , when coop arrived it was far better quality then anticipated so easy to assemble took less then an hour , fantastic coop houses my 4 Chickens and would recommend highly

I have had my enclosure and coop for nearly 10 years and it’s not showing it’s age a great credit to the quality materials used. We have just moved our whole enclosure and it looks close to new.

The arc was delivered promptly and went together very easily. Three rescue hens settled in very quickly, laying well!

We bought this coop for our three chickens

Great chicken coupe. Straight forward to assemble. Strong and attractive in the garden.

After painting it with a few coats in the garage and assembling on the patio we have sturdy functional house and run area for three lively bantams who have taken to it rapidly. Thanks

Easily moved on to a new patch and great to be able to clean it out easily without having to bend down to the floor. Love the removable panels back and front and the drawbridge device to shut them in for the night, although our rescued chucks took a bit of persuading to use it initially.

We are new to bantam keeping and are absolutely delighted with the Boughton Ark which we bought after much research. It is easy to dismantle, clean and manoeuvre and also looks good.
