Talk to the people who keep hens, not a call centre

Gotchickens runs a homestead shop and an advice desk for backyard keepers across Gauteng, the Free State and the Cape. Whether you are chasing a feeder that survives a windy werf, a laying nest that washes clean, or a coop plan that fits your stand, the same people who muck out coops every week will answer.

Stay in touch with the yard desk

Leave your email and we will send short, useful notes from the shop: when the spring hatch gear lands, what the Highveld heat does to drinkers, and small fixes for coops that leak dust or let a mongoose in. No daily noise, no sales scripts. Just the things we learn while mucking out our own coops.

If you would rather talk it through, phone or email works too. Tell us your province, whether you keep layers, broilers or bantams, and roughly how many birds, and the answer will fit your setup.

Get the coop notes

One short email when there is something worth knowing. Unsubscribe whenever you like.

We use your email only for these notes. Questions about feeders, drinkers, nests or coop plans are better sent to info@gotchickens.com so we can answer properly.

Send a flock ticket

Write it the way you would tell a neighbour: what you keep, where the stand is, and what the problem looks like. The people reading these tickets keep layers, broilers and bantams themselves, so a plain description beats a tidy one.

Tickets sent before the afternoon get looked at the same working day. Coop plan questions move faster if you include your stand size and whether the run sits in full sun.

We reply by email first. If the answer needs a longer walk-through, we will suggest a phone call during shop hours.

Reach the people who keep hens themselves

Gotchickens runs as a working homestead shop and advice desk, so the folks answering your flock questions also muck out coops on their own stands. Whether you keep layers on a Gauteng smallstand, broilers on a Free State werf or a few bantams in a Cape yard, you can phone or email during shop hours and get a straight answer.
