Henhouses in Ross.
Keeping hens in Ross is a calm, rewarding part of a leafy life under the oaks. Modern Hen designs, builds and tends henhouses here, so you get the fresh eggs and the quiet company without the daily upkeep.
Local knowledge
Built for Ross backyards.
The 50-foot rule shapes everything in Ross: the henhouse has to sit at least 50 feet from any neighbor's residence and from the street, which on a smaller Ross lot can leave only one workable spot. Ross lots often slope too, so we level a well-drained pad, catch morning sun and afternoon oak shade and keep winter water moving away from the structure.
The predators worth planning for here are Coyotes, Hawks, Raccoons, Bobcats. Every install is predator-proofed to the same standard, so the flock is safe from day one.
