just tell your electrical contractor this.
I need a 3 phase 600amp panel. If he's a Legit Contractor that's all he needs to know.
He will need to call the Power Company, Each zone has a different "Utility Planner".
Your Contractor will work with your area's "Planner".
There are several ways to do this job.
Most likly your transformer isnt large enough. So it will need to be upgraded.
Also depending on its "Transformers" location in respect to your "Chicken Coop" will determine the fees you will need to pay.
Wire is Hugely Expensive. Especially tht size. If you got a transformer thats 1500' away and you gotta pull 600 amp power, your looking at 10's of thousands of dollars. Now you can dig the trench yourself and save money, You can even lay the conduit to save money, Your Electricians gonna need to pull the wire, The Utility company does the final connections. This is a very common thing when upgrading power.
But no matter how you slice it your electrician/Utility Co will be working side by side, hand in Hand. And this will be expensive, really expensive.
Obviously I'm not versed on that side of electrical .....so, is it more expensive to bring 3phase 600 amp or to bring in two single phase services?
I know that these questions may be stupid to some, and maybe that suggestion isn't even possible or feasible, but, are there any other options?
My electrician will definately know the answers but I would like to be somewhat versed before we meet on site in next few days...
