The Standard Chicken Coop by McCallum - Convenient Family-sized model
The Standard Chicken Coop was our original model and is still made to the same tried and tested design. At 2700mm long and 900mm wide, it accommodates 4 birds on a full time basis, or up to 5 if you are free-ranging them all day. Even at 2700mm long, it is still small enough to put in the corner of a suburban backyard, or used under the fruit trees on a hobby orchard.
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 Standard gives your chickens close to 2.5 square metres of space at a very economical price. Built to the same design as the the Backyard model, it is just as easy to assemble, and requires absolutely no maintenance.
Dimensions
When assembled the Backyard model measures 2715mm (l) * 920mm (w) * 920mm (h).
Options
This listing is for a stationary Standard Chicken Coop. If you want to move your Standard model around the yard, then please view our "Standard 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.
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.
