Chickens are now the fourth most popular pet in Australia. Australian consumers are more invested in organic produce, with 62 per cent citing personal health as a motivator and 45 per cent alluding to environmental concerns. The price of eggs has also increased dramatically due to rising inflation, supply chain issues and an unexpected outbreak of avian flu over 2022. Finally, increased awareness of animal welfare concerns, such as bans on battery cages, have motivated consumers to keep backyard chickens. These birds have charmed the country, with two-thirds of chicken owners in Australia keeping their chickens as pets. This is a lucrative opportunity for ecommerce retailers to meet rising demand and add chicken coops to their range of pet products.
