#$%^&*AU2015100492A420150521.pdf#####ABSTRACT The Chickpi is a portable chicken coop, in a tipi shaped tent, comprising: a pole structure(1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6) to support the wrap around cover(7). Where the cover joins, there is a flap(1 1) which can be held back to allow the chickens to roam outside or kept closed at night for safety. Inside the Chickpi is a semi-circle mezzanine level (9), which is connected, above the ground, to the tent poles(3, 4, 5, & 6) where the chickens can nest and lay eggs, leaving room beneath for foraging(1 2) on the ground. There are steps(1 0) and a perch(1 3) extending across the void adjacent to the mezzanine level. There is a rectangular flap(8), which can be rolled up and secured, for easy access to collect eggs and clean the nests(9).I " ..
