Optional Extra - 6 x 4 Fowl Weather Stand for Ixworth Chicken Ark

ADD ON - ‘Fowl’ or Fair Weather Stand - Chicken Ark

No matter how often you move the ark in the depths of winter or during periods of persistent rain inevitably the birds will churn the ground into a quagmire. Which is obviously detrimental to the well being of the birds, but also scars the turf which will need weeks to repair. This is a pressure treated timber frame which holds the ark off the mud and forms a deep litter pit. Our advice would be set up a permanent inclement weather plot on a hard standing. To use proprietary horse bedding for the scratching litter (AUBIOSE) which will need freshening weekly and totally changing every 4-5 weeks.
