Free-Range Bird Shelters 29-1-7 Raising free range chickens and other poultry is easy with the "Chick-Inn Hutch" manufactured by ClearSpan in South Windsor, Conn.
The lightweight canvas-topped shelters come in sizes ranging from 8 by 8 ft. to 14 by 24 ft., with 9 ft. of headroom inside.
Frames are made from 14-ga. 1.66-in. structural steel tubing. They nest on a wood base provided by the buyer. Flooring can be added or the unit can be skidded around regularly to fresh grass.
Poultry or game birds are protected within the shelter by 5-ft. high walls made from 1 in. by 2-in. galvanized wire. The roof, side curtains and end panels are made from white 12 1/2 oz. rip-stop polyethylene fabric. The curtains roll up easily on the sides, providing ventilation. There's a double zippered 36-in. by 80-in. aluminum-framed door at one end. It can be rolled up to allow the birds to roam freely during the day if desired.
The shelters range in price from $499 to $1,195 plus shipping and handling. ClearSpan sells a variety of other animal and poultry housing packages, including "Moo-Tel Calf Hutches," "Super Moo-Tels" and the "Colossal Chick-Inn Hutch," which has room for up to 1,200 birds.
