Questions & Answers
Q. Can I get my coop in Colorbond?
A. Yes, there are three Colorbond colours that we regularly have in stock. These are Cottage Green, Pale Eucalypt and Wilderness. Due to the increased costs of materials for Colorbond coops, each coop is $40 extra. If you chose a Colorbond coop the corrugated iron walls and the housing section door will feature this colour. The remainder of the coop will be made using Zincalume materials.
Q. How long will it take for my coop to arrive from when I place the order?
A. This largely depends on courier time following dispatch. Most coops arrive within 2-3 weeks following an order. We aim to get orders out promptly and will notify you if it is likely that your order will be delayed.
Q. How many chickens can I accommodate in each coop?
A. The 'Queen Coop' can accommodate 4 - 6 full sized chickens and the 'Princess Pen' can accommodate 2 - 3 full sized chickens.
Q. Is this coop suitable if we live in a fox prone area?
A. For people who live in country areas where foxes are known to be a problem, we have the option of a mesh floor that can be added to the standard coops. These floors are made of large sized steel mesh, allowing your chickens to scratch on the ground below, but preventing dogs or foxes from digging their way in. These floors are available for an additional $40 for either sized coop.
Q. What tools do I need to assemble the coop?
A. You'll need only a Phillips head screw drinker and a couple adjustable spanners to put your coop together. The coops are very simple to assemble and come with easy to follow instructions.
