If you’re keeping hens in Australia, the first thing you need is a secure, well-ventilated chicken coop that protects your birds from weather and predators and still makes cleaning and egg collection easy. This collection from Pets Gear brings together our best **small chicken coop**, **large chicken coop**, and **walk in chicken coop** options so hobby keepers, schools and smallholders can pick the right size for their flock – without building from scratch.

Choose the Right Coop for Your Flock Size

Not every coop is built for ISA Browns or Australorps. That’s why we stock:

• Small chicken coops for 2–4 hens – ideal for suburban yards
• Chicken coop for large chickens – deeper floor space and stronger roosts
• Very large chicken coops / huge chicken coop styles – if you’re running 8–12+ birds or adding ducks
• Walk in chicken coops – stand up to clean, hang feeders and add perches

Every product clearly says how many birds it suits, so you can buy with confidence.

Built for Australian Conditions

Australian backyards get heat, rain and foxes. Our chicken coops Australia range focuses on solid frames, good airflow and secure latches. Many models include an attached run so birds can scratch even when you can’t free-range them.

Key Features to Look For

1. Predator Protection

Look for sturdy wire, lockable doors and raised nesting areas. This matters if you live near bushland or keep birds overnight.

2. Easy Egg Collection

Most of our coops include external nest boxes so you don’t have to go inside the coop daily – essential for families and schools.

3. Cleaning & Maintenance

Choose a walk in chicken coop Australia or a coop with pull-out trays if you want faster clean-ups and better odour control.

FAQs – Chicken Coops

1. What size coop do I need?

As a guide, allow about 0.35–0.5 m² per hen inside the coop, plus outdoor run space. If you’re unsure, choose the next size up (large or very large chicken coop) so the hens don’t crowd.

2. Do I need a run attached?

Yes, unless your birds will free-range daily. A coop with run keeps hens active, reduces boredom and protects gardens.

3. Timber vs metal – which is better?

Timber looks nicer and insulates well; a metal chicken coop is stronger, more durable and easier to hose down – great for rural properties.

4. Can I add an automatic door?

Most coops on this page can take an automatic chicken coop door, which is perfect if you can’t always be home at dusk.

5. Do the coops come with nesting boxes?

Many do. If you want more laying capacity, pair your coop with our separate chicken nesting boxes so several hens can lay at once.
