How do I assemble the Hanehus chicken coop, and how long does it take??
You can assemble your Hanehus in just a few minutes. And what’s more: no tools required!

As you can see, it’s child’s play.
How many chickens can fit in a Hanehus chicken coop?
That depends on the model. Our coops are designed for small to medium-sized breeds of chicken. Depending on the layout (single or double storey), they can accommodate up to 8 chickens. What makes them special is that you attach the laying nest and automatic feeder from the outside as window modules. This means you retain the full interior space for your chickens to move around in, and they have plenty of room to feel at home!
What is the best place to put my chicken coop?
Ideally, you should set up your henhouse near your house. This is practical for day-to-day life. The location should be at the edge of the run, on level and dry ground. In summer you need plenty of shade, and in winter plenty of sun. This is crucial for happy chickens. Protection from the wind is also important, as the chickens like to spend time around the coop. With these basic principles in mind, you’re sure to find a good spot for your chicken coop!
What materials are Hanehus products made from, and how are their surfaces protected?
We use only carefully graded larch timber in A/B visual grade: for a particularly balanced and natural look with visible wood features. To protect the surfaces, we use high-quality, 0% VOC wood oils from Rubio Monocoat, which combine a natural look and feel with long-lasting protection and rich colour. In accordance with EN 71-3, they are even suitable for children’s toys.
