Underdown Bird Supplies do not manufacture or import chook houses. There are a lot of good chook house builders out there, and one such are Appletons. We are pleased to detail their chook houses here but will pass on enquiries to be dealt with directly by them. We take no commission for this and detail them just so that our customers have them available as a trusted supplier. All dealings over these houses will be direct with the manufacturer and Underdown Bird Supplies will not enter into any discussion over them. We are only likely to confuse things if we try and act as the middle man!

The chook houses are flat pack and Appletons will arrange freight for you at cost. Alternatively, they will assemble them for you if you wish to pick them up.

Underdown Bird Supplies say… “This is exceptional accomodation for your chooks!  If you opt for the front run to be added on ask for the top netting.  Once the sparrows discover your chook food you will be astonished how quickly they get through it, particularly during the winter months.  Anything you can do to keep them out, and save a lot of money in the process, is recommended.  Try hiding your chook feeders as far inside the house as possible, or use an ‘on demand feeder’ which only opens when the chook stands on the lever.  Look under ‘Poultry and game - feeders’ for 10Kg, 20Kg and 40Kg versions.”
