A chickenORB is a must-have poultry lovers accessory. It's a spherical shaped rolling enclosure that allows your pet chicken to explore the environment beyond the chicken yard.

What’s their purpose?

The chickenORB allows pet chickens to roam a garden area, while restricting some unwanted behaviours.

A chicken, within a ChickenORB, can physically move the orb around an area, but its ability to jump, fly, dig, and run are restricted, allowing chicken owners to easily manage when, where and how they forage.

It is an accessory that allows easy integration of foraging chickens into urban gardens, acting as a barrier, limiting their access beyond garden edging.

It is NOT a replacement for a chicken coop or predator proof chickenyard.

Chickens orbing should be supervised activity, chickenORBs are a barrier and is NOT predator proof.

Yes, imagine orbing is like learning to ride a bicycle, for chickens, it will take time and practice. surprisingly chickens often learn faster to orb that most people do to ride a bike.

All chicken learn from their experiences, so each chicken is different, and will need training time, a patient trainer and at times, gentle encouragement.

Some chickens are very intelligent and motivated often learning quickly, each chicken will be different.

We have found that the Isa Brown breed have the fastest learners, taking an average of 15 minutes to become efficient orbers.

Do the chickens get their body tangled in the ChickenORB?

Chickens do occasionally get tangled; you will need to be present to assist if required. Chickens are very resilient, and most will learn quickly from negative experiences, most often they will shake it off and keep on orbing, some will require assistance.

If you have any issues training your chicken, please contact us for more assistance.

The opportunity to integrate chickens into you garden areas in a controlled manner is beneficial for your chickens and your garden.

Chickens in orbs, forage on common garden pests, fertilise and lightly aerate the earth.

Gardeners benefit by being able to direct these behaviours and return the chickens to their chickenyard with minimal fuss, chickens in orbs reduce the need for protective barriers around garden beds.

An additional benefit is that it slows the pace that chickens can move about the yard, this can be great for interactions between people and chickens, as it allows both chickens and people to understand each other’s body language.

A chicken can reach through our chickenORB enclosures to both drink and eat. A chicken will need a container in an easily accessible location while orbing.

Not all chickensORB's are the same, in fact orbs that promote themselves as protective enclosure should be avoided as these often restrict a chickens ability to eat and drink. We are the inventors of the original chickenORB.

The chickenORB limits the depth and length a chicken can dig while foraging. They are not able to dust bath while orbing, Chickens must be returned to dust bath.

No, definitely not.

The chickenORB is only an accessory and does not replace a coop or a chicken run. Chickens should only be kept in the Chicken Orb for as long as they are comfortable. If they show any signs of destress, release them into the chickenyard.
