About Us

Chicken owners are a particularly self-reliant bunch. Chicken-keeping is meant to make you just a little more self-sufficient; why spend gobs of cash to do it? Maybe that helps explain why so many chicken folks build their own coops. To get started, you should familiarize yourself with chicken coop styles, the tools and building materials you need, and the carpentry skills to master.

The two most common types of chicken coop used today are stationary hen houses and chicken tractors. Tractors are mobile coops that are usually designed to completely house your chickens so they stay in specific areas around your lawn. Some people use chicken tractors in small lawns because it gives them more control over where the chickens graze and how long they graze there, effectively stopping them from over-grazing or over-scratching.

Backyard chicken coops for pets

If you will be keeping your pet chickens in your backyard, then you should choose a chicken coop that is suitable for your backyard. Larger cities like Sydney and Melbourne can be overrun with certain animals that carry disease such as rodents, whilst homeowners that live in the more rural areas can be exposed to snakes and other dangerous animals. You should consider these issues when you are choosing from the range of chicken coops for sale at Chicken Coops Australia.

An ideal Chicken coup will have a sturdy housing area that is made from mainly wood or steel. Sometimes there is also a galvanised mesh enclosure, but you should ensure that no animals can get in through the mesh by choosing a fine mesh rather than one with larger gaps.

Adapting Hen house plans

If you will be building your own hen house, then you could use hen house plans to make the initial design stage easier. You will be able to modify the layout slightly or substitute materials if you need to.

The main thing that you need to remember is that your chickens will need plenty of space to run around in the henhouse and obviously the more chickens that you own, the more space you will need.
