The Backyard Chicken Coop by McCallum - perfect for suburban living

The Backyard Chicken Coop is a perfect size for small suburban backyards, as its compact design makes it an unobtrusive addition to your garden. At 1800mm long and 900mm wide, it accommodates 2-3 birds on a full time basis, or up to 5 if you are free-ranging them all day.

The height of 900mm gives your chickens plenty of head room, but allows you to place the coop under a tree for shade in summer. This coop is made from galvanised steel, galvanised mesh and Colorbond sheeting, and is fully welded and bolted.

Access to eggs is provided by a conveniently located lift up lid at waist height. Your chickens have their own front access door, which can be padlocked if you wish.

The Backyard is ideal if you want to introduce your children to chickens, or if you have a spouse who is not completely sold on the idea. This model is also suitable for chicken breeders, as it is an ideal size for a breeding trio.

Dimensions

When assembled the Backyard model measures 1820mm (l) * 920mm (w) * 920mm (h).

Options

This listing is for a stationary Backyard Chicken Coop. If you want to move your Backyard model around the yard, then please view our "Backyard Chicken Tractor" which includes the wheels and trolley.

Colour

Possibly the biggest decision you will need to make is colour. We can offer you three choices - Our most popular colour is Pale Eucalypt (Light Green), followed by Cottage Green (Dark Green) and finally Classic Cream. The pictures on this website show the Backyard model in Classic Cream.

Foxmesh

If you live in an area with foxes, then you will probably need foxmesh. You have two options - you can put the mesh on the underside of the coop or you can place is around the outside edge of the coop in a 'skirt' position. Please follow this link for a discussion on the merits or otherwise of foxmesh.
