Please ensure that the vehicle/trailer is suitable based on the dimension of the product noted below. Just remember to have a couple of good ropes or tie-down straps, and a flag for the overhang.

Tradies roof racks, yes. Roof racks on your sedan, no. The depots can refuse to load items on roof racks if it are not authorized to, as per laws.

No, although I have had customers collect it in the back of vans. I would not recommend it. It takes a fair amount of effort to push one of the packs into a van through the rear door.

We manufacture each chicken tractor out of a series of panels.

A Jumbo or Master has 7 panels. A Standard has 11 panels. A Backyard has 8 panels.

Each panel already has the mesh, Colorbond, doors and hinges, latches, and all the other components already attached. Around the edges of each panel, we have pre-drilled bolt holes and assembly just involves lining up the bolt holes and tightening the bolts.

Metal tin snip cutters to cut the metal strips off the flat pack. A set of spanners is needed to tighten the bolts that hold the panels together, and a drill with a 5/16″ hex drive is needed for the handles and privacy screen. All fasteners are supplied and holes are pre-drilled.

From 60 minutes for a Backyard, Standard, Master or Jumbo.

Under normal circumstances, we have all three of our basic models (Standard / Master / Jumbo) in stock at all times. All chicken tractors will be dispatched within 2–10 working days. Also, please note that, as a small business, if we are at a trade show, the factory will be closed, and we won’t be able to ship your order until we get back. If you need your chicken tractor urgently, call us on 0425 751 794.

All of our chicken tractors are 92cm tall. We do this for several reasons:

1. Chickens are only 30–40 cm tall, so any extra height is dead space.
2. The taller the coop, the more it weighs and thus the more difficult it is to move
3. The 92 cm height packs well and can be freighted more easily than taller models.

Now, the Standard model has a door at either end; one door is for the chickens to walk in and out and the other end is for you to have access to the eggs.

Access to the laying area inside the Master and Jumbo is through the roof of the shed end, which is hinged. As long as your armpits are 92 cm off the ground and your arms are 60 cm long, then everything you need is in easy reach.

We do not do custom models. Let me explain: we manufacture hundreds of chicken tractors each year, and therefore we have become quite efficient, allowing us to produce them at a reasonable cost. Any deviation from the norm results in a much slower production rate. The kind of changes we can make would be adding another door to the meshed sides, or doubling the length of a chicken tractor. The kind of thing we cannot do is make a chicken tractor 30 cm taller than normal or 30 cm narrower, as this changes the raw materials we need to use and changes the way the chicken tractor flat packs.
