Extra-Large Walk-In Chicken Habitat - 295 x 163 x 170 cm - Solid Pinewood with Dual Nesting Access

Extra-Large Walk-In Chicken Habitat - Solid Pinewood with Dual Nesting Access

The Extra-Large Walk-In Chicken Habitat is a premier, high-capacity poultry housing system engineered to provide a comprehensive living environment for larger flocks. Constructed from high-quality solid pinewood with a durable painted finish, this expansive enclosure features a multi-zone layout including a massive ground-level foraging range, sheltered elevated resting quarters, and a dedicated nesting box. The vertical clearance of 170 cm allows for easier walk-in access and maintenance, while the open-bottom design of the run encourages natural scratching and foraging behaviours.

This habitat measures 295 x 163 x 170 cm and is available as a single standard configuration, with dual non-slip ramps connecting the ground run to the upper resting quarters.

Best For: Housing larger poultry flocks in a secure walk-in environment, providing expansive ground-level foraging space, protecting birds from extreme weather with waterproof roofing, and simplifying egg collection and habitat hygiene.

Key Features:

• Expansive Walk-In Design: Standing at 170 cm tall, this habitat provides a spacious 295 cm long footprint that accommodates multiple birds comfortably while allowing easier human access for maintenance.
• Integrated Nesting Box with Top Access: Features a specialised side compartment with an openable roof, allowing for the quick and safe collection of eggs without disturbing the main living area.
• All-Weather Waterproof Protection: The roofs of both the nesting box and elevated cubbies are covered in high-quality green waterproof fabric, creating a dry and warm moisture barrier.
• Dual Non-Slip Access Ramps: Engineered with two high-traction ramps that provide safe and seamless movement between the lower foraging range and the upper resting quarters.
• Sanitation-Optimised Coated Tray: Includes a removable coated pull-out tray in the upper portion of the hutch, designed for effortless debris removal and high-efficiency daily cleaning.

Primary Agricultural & Livestock Uses

• Large-Scale Backyard Poultry: The primary choice for owners with established flocks who require a sturdy, multi-functional enclosure that supports roosting, nesting, and free-range exercise.
• Hygienic Egg Management: Ideal for those who prioritise streamlined harvesting, with the external top-access nesting box making egg collection fast and low-impact.
• Safe Foraging & Exercise: A versatile and dependable choice for providing birds with constant access to the ground for natural foraging while maintaining a secure, predator-proof perimeter.

Pro Tip & Predator Proofing: Refresh the nesting box bedding weekly with clean straw to encourage consistent laying and prevent egg soiling.

Since this habitat features an open-bottom run, peg a mesh apron flat around the entire base perimeter extending 30cm outward to stop foxes and other predators from digging underneath.

Bird flu biosecurity — solid roof protection

During avian influenza outbreaks in Australia, keeping poultry separated from wild birds is critical. This enclosure is designed with a solid roof over the bird area so droppings from passing wild birds cannot fall directly onto your flock or their feed and water.

For best protection: keep feed and water under the roofed section, disinfect footwear before entering, and report sick birds to your state agriculture department.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
