Quick answer: Choose a coop or hutch with a secure, fox-proof run, a raised and dry sleeping area, good ventilation and shade from afternoon sun. Buy bigger than the minimum for the number of animals, and add an extension run or daily exercise space. Check your council's rules on backyard poultry numbers and roosters before you buy.

What is in the chicken coops and rabbit hutches range

The range includes wooden chicken coops and combined coop-and-run units, single and double-storey rabbit and guinea pig hutches, large walk-in runs and extensions, galvanised wire mesh and automatic coop doors.

How to choose a coop or hutch

  • Size up: more floor and run space means healthier, less stressed animals.
  • Foxes are a major threat in Australia: use strong mesh, secure latches and a buried mesh skirt or solid floor.
  • Look for a pull-out tray or easy-access doors so you can clean weekly.
  • Place it in shade with airflow; rabbits and guinea pigs are very sensitive to heat.
  • Check council rules on the number of chickens, roosters and distance from boundaries.

Setting up in Australian conditions

  • Heat: provide shade and airflow, and move hutches out of the afternoon sun in summer.
  • Predators: lock animals in at night; an automatic coop door helps with early starts and late finishes.
  • Weather: treat timber with pet-safe finishes as the maker recommends, and keep bedding dry.
  • Hygiene: clean trays and bedding weekly and keep feed in sealed containers to deter rodents.

Frequently asked questions (2026)

How do I fox-proof a chicken coop?

Use strong galvanised mesh rather than light netting, fit secure latches, and bury a mesh skirt around the run or use a solid floor. Lock birds in every night.

Can rabbits live in an outdoor hutch in Australian summer?

Only with good shade, airflow and fresh water. Rabbits are heat-sensitive, so move them somewhere cooler on hot days.

How many chickens can I keep in my backyard?

It depends on your council. Many councils limit numbers and roosters and set distances from boundaries, so check local rules first.

How often should a coop or hutch be cleaned?

Remove droppings and wet bedding every few days and do a full clean weekly. Pull-out trays make this much easier.

Where can I see prices and current stock?
