The Ultimate Guide to Chick’A® Hen Houses & Automatic Coop Doors

Comfortable, Eco-Friendly Chicken Coops That Make Keeping Poultry Easier

If you’re passionate about giving your feathered friends a safe, clean, and stress-free home — you’re in the right place! In this guide we’re diving into everything you need to know about the Chick’A® hen house range and the must-have automatic coop door available at Countrystore Direct.

Whether you’re a backyard beginner or a seasoned smallholder, these products bring together smart design, durable materials and effortless everyday use.

What Is a Chick’A® Hen House?

A Chick’A® hen house is a purpose-built chicken coop crafted from UV-stabilised recycled plastic — which means it’s tough enough to handle wet British weather without rotting like wood can.

These hen houses are:

✔ Eco-friendly
✔ Easy to clean
✔ Comfortable for chickens
✔ Built to last

Recycled plastic resists moisture and parasites — and doesn’t warp or wear like timber. That makes it one of the best materials for long-lasting, low-maintenance chicken housing.

Chick’A® Hen Houses — Which Size Suits Your Flock?

Chick’A® hen houses come in small, medium, and large options — so you can pick the perfect size for your flock:

Small Hen House

Ideal for up to 4 chickens
Great for compact gardens or those new to chicken keeping.

Medium Hen House

Ideal for up to 6 chickens
A popular choice if you want a comfortable coop with extra nesting space.

Large Hen House

Ideal for up to 8 chickens
Perfect for growing flocks or mini-farm setups.

Why You’ll Love the Chick’A® Automatic Coop Door

One of the best upgrades you can add to your hen house is the automatic coop door — it takes the daily lift/lower chore off your to-do list!

Benefits of an Automatic Coop Door

• Hands-free operation — opens at dawn and closes at dusk automatically.

• Improved safety — nighttime predators stay out when the door closes every evening.

• Battery powered — works without mains power.

• Weather-resistant design — built to withstand wet and chilly conditions.

This is a game-changer for people who travel, work long days, or just want extra peace of mind.

Easy Cleaning + Happier Hens

One of the biggest perks of Chick’A® coops is how easy they are to clean — smooth recycled plastic surfaces mean no rotting wood or mould build-up.

Here’s how Chick’A® makes life simpler:

✔ Wide access doors
✔ Smooth surfaces for quick hose downs

A clean coop isn’t just nicer to look at — it means healthier hens and better egg production.

Tips for Choosing the Right Coop

To make your chicken keeping experience the best it can be, keep these quick tips in mind:

Ventilation Matters

Good airflow reduces damp, ammonia build-up, and respiratory stress in birds.

Add Predator Protection

Pair your coop with secure fencing or poultry netting around runs — especially at night.

Schedule Routine Cleaning

Quick weekly spot cleans + a deep clean monthly keeps hens happy and mites away.

Final Thoughts: Why Chick’A® Is a Great Choice

If you want a durable, practical and low-maintenance hen house, Chick’A® coops hit the mark. Recycled plastic construction, smart features, and the option to add an automatic door make them a top choice for UK chicken keepers.

Whether you’ve got a small backyard flock or dream of expanding, these hen houses offer reliability and comfort — all while making your life that bit easier.
