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