Recent industrial design graduate Lucie Bateman,21, has designed a quirky flat pack hen house designed for the city dweller - with little or no space but a desire to keep chickens.

The Brunel University, London, graduate said : "Most hen houses designed for the urban environment come ready-assembled and can be a nightmare to actually get into your garden or out again.

"My design uses flat pack principles and sustainable materials and it can be assembled in minutes or taken apart and stored when not in use."
