Our mesh floors are ideal for keeping out snakes, foxes and other predators.

We use a heavy gauge 20mm x 20mm welded galvanized wire mesh which is cut to size for each individual chicken coop. We ensure it is cut 150mm longer and wider than the footprint of your coop so that it fits well, and adds an extra external barrier from persistent foxes or snakes.

Your hens will not have any problems with our mesh floors. The mesh size is large enough for them to peck through for unsuspecting worms but small enough to prevent predators from digging under and getting inside your chicken coop. We always recommend a mesh floor as it’s a cheap but very well proven method to keep your hens safe. So to help keep the girls happy, we advise you throw in your grass clippings each time you mow, this will give them something to forage through when you aren’t able to let them out. Also, we like to put a medium to large pot filled with dirt in the coop, the hens then jump into the pot to take a dust bath.  Safe and happy hens are healthy hens!
