ALUMINIUM FRAMEWORK
Aluminium, unlike steel or timber, will not rust, rot or deteriorate in the weather. You can be rest assured that your coop will be looking just as great in many years’ time. Royal Rooster’s specially designed aluminium is made with channels in which the mesh or iron slots directly so that there are no ugly fixings on either side of the panels to keep the materials in place.
Black Frame Optional Upgrade: standard coops are made with silver anodized aluminium framework, however black anodized framework is also available as an optional upgrade.
SMALL-SIZED GALVANIZED MESH
Chicken Roll coops are made with small sized galvanised steel mesh, 2.5mm thick with 25mm squares. This strong mesh is difficult to accidentally damage and is impossible for foxes to chew through!
Mini Mesh Optional Upgrade: If rodents or snakes are an issue, you can alternatively have your coop made with 12.5mm x 12.5mm mesh that is 1.24mm thick. Keep in mind these creatures can be very hard to keep out and a mini mesh floor would also be recommended for further protection.
MINI FLUTED CORRUGATED IRON
The curved walls and back door of the Chicken Roll is made using modern Zincalume (silver) mini corrugated iron. This is Bluescope steel which is made in Australia.
Colorbond Optional Upgrade: The Chicken Roll is also available in Colorbond for those wishing their coop to match other colours in their backyard. Colours currently available are Pale Eucalypt, Deep Ocean, Monument and Woodland Grey. Custom Colorbond colours are also available. Just let us know what colour you require.
SUMMER VENTILATION
Unlike imported coops, Royal Rooster coops are designed and made in Australia, taking into consideration our very hot summers. The whole front of the housing section on the Chicken Roll is open to allow maximum ventilation on hot days. There are also two side ventilation sections on the sides of the coop, for extra ventilation in the housing area.
Weather Shield Optional Upgrade: There are optional ‘weather shields’ (as pictured) that can also be purchased to provide extra protection in wet or windy weather. One shield further encloses the housing section with still a gap for the chickens to walk into the housing area. The other two shields go over the side ventilation areas to keep the housing area nice and cosy in the cool weather.
OPEN FLOOR DESIGN
The coops have an open floor design to allow your chickens to scratch up the soil and to have the pleasure of a dust bath.
Optional Upgrades:
This mesh floors are provided in two sections and are wired or fixed to the base of your coop, so moves along when you move your coop to a fresh area in your backyard.
Extra Large Mesh Floor: Made from 150mm x 100mm x 5mm mesh, this mesh floor enables your chickens to scratch the soil but also provides further protection against digging dogs or foxes.
Large Mesh Floor: The large sized mesh floor (50mm x 50mm x 3mm) is a size smaller for those wanting further ground protection for their chickens.
Galvanised Mini Mesh Floor: The mini mesh floor (12.5mm x 12.5mm x 1.24mm) is a size smaller for those wanting extra protection from snakes or rodents.
MOBILE COOP
As these coops are made with aluminium rather than steel frames, the coops are easy to move with one person on each end of the coop. When the chickens have adequately scratched up one area in your backyard, just move to another spot or even on top of a garden bed for the chickens to work through the soil.
Wheel Kit Optional Upgrade: The optional wheel upgrade makes moving your coop even easier. Just turn the lever arms into the raised position on either side of your coop, push or pull your coop to a new area and then lower again. The chickens if inside, will jump up onto the cross bar or mesh floor and go for a ride!
WOODEN LAYING BOXES
Chickens need a nice cosy place to lay their eggs. A flock of around 6 chickens will all share the one laying box, each taking it in turn to lay their eggs. For most owners of backyard chickens, 1 – 2 nest boxes are adequate. Royal Rooster makes wooden laying boxes specially for the range of chicken coops. They are 36cm x 33cm x 10cm deep and are made from quality, dressed pine.
MANUAL FREE RANGING DOOR
If you would like your chickens to be able to free range, the manual chicken door might be just what you need! The unit comes with a clear slide up perspex door with a hook so it can be latched to the mesh of your cage to stay open.
WOODEN PERCHES
Two wooden perches are provided for night time sleeping area for the chickens. These perches are 42mm wide and 19mm thick, which is said to be the best size and shape for chickens to comfortably perch on for night time sleep.
CHICKEN FEEDERS & DRINKERS
A popular upgrade to the Chicken Roll is a feeder and drinker set. These hook straight onto the mesh of your coop and make keeping chickens a breeze. Available with either a single drinker cup or twin cups. Due to their slimline design, these take up very minimal room in your coop.
DELIVERY INSURANCE
Highly recommended. This covers the replacement or repair of your coop if damaged in transit as well as the freight to transport damaged parts back to us and new parts over to you. Great for peace of mind.
ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS
These coops are very simple to put together and come with detailed, illustrated instructions. You’ll need a rubber mallet, an electric drill and a number 2 Philips-head driver. Assembly time will be 1 hour + depending on skill level. A pair of pointy nose pliers is also handy if your order your coop with mini mesh walls.
