How many chickens will it hold comfortable?

I keep 3 with plenty of room. I think up to 6 would be comfortable. Make sure you reinforce to keep predators out.My Dad raised 5000. It's amazing how little space chickens need to be happy and keep laying.

We started out with six in the spring. We gave away three. There is plenty of room for the remaining three but have to share the double nesting box. Three eggs a day is more than enough for us. So I would say two to three adult chickens. We have a folded tarp on top of run to keep it dry. We also did not fasten top onto coop. Just attached latches. Other wise you could not clean it out if you follow directions and screwed the roof on.

We have 4 chickens and plenty of space. It could probably hold 6 comfortably. We were however unimpressed with the quality of the coop. It was partially broken within a few months. We have re-inforced it and hope it gets through the winter. I don't think its lifespan will be more than a year. Julie

I have four using it with no problem. Did put an external run on it for them. I like spoil my animals.

two maybe three or four depending on the adult size of the birds. But no more than four.

It will hold up to 2 chickens comfortably if you are going to use the enclosure. I bought it with 6 chicks, but when they grew, it got overcrowded.

This will definitely hold enough feed for 3 chickens for several days. There is no top. I made partial cover for the bottom feeding area so the chicken feed loss was minimized. I cut a piece of plastic 1.5" x 8" and attached it with plastic strip ties to the bottom area.

Mine is in an 8x8 dog run with roof. Walk in. My coop is off the ground on a simple frame. Chickens have access to all the ground space. I made a ladder to get in the coop.

We have two bantams in it. We set it on a foundation of cement blocks to raise it about 10 inches. Without the blocks, the area under the shelter was so short the chickens didn't want to go under it. I wouldn't try to put standard size chickens in it, the door hole and interior of the shelter are just too small, in my opinion.

It does a great job keeping my chickens inside. I have a post every ten or twelve feet for support. I'm pleased.

I would say probably 3-5. It's a nice cage and I think 3-5 parakeets would be comfortable in it.

I am not sure. It is a fairly sturdy hutch, but my 2 chicks got too large for it very quickly. The covered area wasn't large enough for both to sleep in. If you do buy it, consider replacing the plastic knob that "latches" the door from the outside. An animal ripped it off and killed one of our chickens!

I don't think one section would hold as much chicken as you would need for a large event, but it is a lifesaver for me when I host holiday parties with 10-12 people. It keeps food warm and is easy to clean.

This coop is very cute, but it will not handle more than 2 - 3 chickens. It is very small if you plan to keep them inside all the time. Chickens need room to roost and lay, as well as yard space to forage, this coop does not afford them any space to roam.

I don't see why not. You just buy another run and do not screw in the end piece. I have three chickens and I let them free range. They only go in their coop at night or to lay. Barely spending any time in the run. I think three chickens is too much for a run that size. It is not too much space at all.

Hello, You can fit about 50 keets up to 6 weeks. I had up to 80 chicks in mine.

Can always modify it. We just added a 15×15 run. This coop is small tho. Good for 2-3 chickens. I have 5 & is very cramped. Thank goodness it was winter so they kept each other warm lol

I have four who are currently 10 weeks old. They spend nights in there, shut in the nesting/roosting area when it's been cold. It is ok for that. It is too small for them to live in there all the time in my opinion, especially in view of the square footage suggested per chicken by the various expert sites. We have it in a shed with a indoor run area for indoor days, and plan an outdoor run and chicken tunnel set up for more adventures as they get older.

I would say not much more over about 20 pounds. We have only done large chickens. The heavier the load the more balanced it would need to be.

I often have 2 hens in a nest at a time. It is perfectly ok. They lay their eggs and are perfectly happy. The box is big enough for the 2 hens actually, unless they are Giants.

I think so. I have this feeder for 6 chickens for an extra feeder in their coop. Their main feeder is bigger and lasts them several days, so this should be big enough for 3. Might have to fill every other day for 3.

yep! Perfect size for three chickens. I have the larger one and have five chickens. It seemed too big at the time, but it holds a LOT making feeding time easy. I fill it about once every 10 days. I have the smaller one to hold grit and oyster shell.
