Putting the house above the run makes more efficient use of the area provided for the number of birds housed. The Boughton covers less ground space than houses of more traditional format and has the added advantage of a covered run, which gives both the hens and feed a degree of weather protection. This layout also satisfies the birds' natural instincts by allowing them to go up at night to roost. The Boughtons are specifically designed for bantams and medium sized birds, it is not thought suitable for large fowl. All of the range have full length side doors, access to the runs, at both ends, removable perching and a hinged ladder which may be drawn up to secure the birds at night. The nesting boxes are located at the end of the unit and have their own external egg collecting doors. To stop undesirable night occupation of the nests night shutters are included, which keeps nest fowling to a minimum and cuts down on egg cleaning time. All have stout carrying handles.
Options - SCRATCH MAT .. Sheet of 2 inch x 2 inch mesh that goes on the ground in the run area to stop digging in and out.
DRAUGHT BOARD .. To shield the birds from strong winds a shutter can be fitted to one side of the run wire.
WHEELS .. To help move the house.
EXTENSION RUN .. Gives additional run area. Can also be used as a self contained run unit, convenient when re-treating or cleaning. Has a ground area the same as the 903.
DIVIDER KIT .. A set of doors for 904 only which when in place creates two independent areas and can be easily removed to revert back to a standard unit.

Housing 15 birds, nesting boxes at both ends, also two hinged ladders to ease congestion at roosting time.
