The Chook Shed

Welcome to The Chook Shed, located in Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. We are a pet store and point of interest that specializes in providing everything you need to keep chickens in your own backyard.

Chickens are one of the most successful and adaptable production animals on our planet. They not only provide us with delicious eggs, but their nutrition is truly amazing in feeding the masses. At The Chook Shed, we understand the importance of these little fluff balls and want to help you set them up for success in your own backyard.

Keeping your chickens healthy and productive requires knowledge about nutrition, feeding, and supplements. That's why we offer a range of great products that can help keep your girls' nutrient levels up and your hens happy. Whether you need essential poultry care tips or want to browse our FAQs, we have the information you need.

One of the biggest challenges for poultry keepers is dealing with Dermanyssus gallinae, also known as red mites. These pests can have a huge negative impact on your chickens. That's why we developed our product, Poultry M8 Powder, which creates a mechanical barrier to make it difficult for the mites to travel in your coop. Combine it with our Biozyme Enzymatic Cleaner, made in New Zealand, for a thorough coop cleaning routine.

We also offer a range of treats and supplements to help your hens maintain good health throughout the year. Our Poultry M8 Treat Mix is bursting with over 20 ingredients, including grains, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. It's perfect for when your chickens are moulting, brooding, breeding, sick, recovering, or simply keeping up with the demands of laying.

Visit our shop to find the products your flock needs and loves. Our goal is to ensure that your chickens are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

The Chook Shed is run by the crazy family crew - Dave, Sarah, Lily, and Harry. Dave hails from the Northwest of England, while Sarah is a born and bred Kiwi. Together, they bring their passion for chickens and knowledge to provide you with the best products and advice for your backyard flock.
