Do they have eggs on the menu?
No but neither are Twisters anymore due to shortage of Chicken Tenders
Serves them right for getting rid of crispy strips.
Have you done any research so far or even know what your budget is?
Chicken wire. Definitely get some chicken wire. It’s for chickens.
Are you sure it's not made from chickens?
As seen at Bobs Country Bunker.
Best bet is to make one. Collect materials on hard rubbish day/council cleanup or visit the tip.
Any enclosed yard will end up a moon scape.
I like the triangle shaped chicken tractor design, and made a couple for friends.
Try Gumtree or FBM. Or google coops. I found a warehouse that sold them, but check size. Bunnings also use to sell them. Also consider a feeder and waterer. We had a dripper connected to wate dispenser to keep it topped up. I'm talking about the tube ones you mount to side of cage. Make sure where the chickens are kept are vemin prroof. We were so traumatised after finding our last 3 chickens being ripped apart by a fox the night before. Chicken feed will also attract rats and mice. You wont have a nice garden or lawn left. Good luck. The fresh eggs are the best.
I received an email with a link to info about keeping chickens at home. It's not just coop-related but may give you ideas about the whole chicken keeping process.

Although it isn't cheap I have decided to go for an Eglu Go with an extended 3m run, and go to 3 or 4 chicks.
Factoring in the impact on the garden etc and of course cleaning!
