how many chickens does this hold?

Ours each hold three full size chickens. During winter I'll even find all six in there. However, three full size is really the max you want in there or 4-5 bantams.

it depends on the size of chicken, but Ive kept 3 large chickens in mine, or 4 smaller chickens. The coop sure gets dirty fast though.

Joel, We had two chickens in our Eglu Go. I would not put in more. Raccoons figured out how to open the big door. Omlet now offers a new lock so if you have raccoons buy the lock. Ann

I think about 30 but there isn't as much chicken on them as the photo shows.

There are 2 sizes, I got the smaller one and had 11 chicks and 2 poults fit very comfortably until the poults outgrew the chicks. The larger one they say will hold 20, which I plan to get this winter. The sides are adjustable, you start with the lower one and raise the platform as the chicks grow. I love this thing, and now don't have to rely on a hen going broody. Hope this answers your question, if not, ask away. :)

It is a big cage. You could easily fit 2 or 3. I only have one in it and my bird flys around the cage.

Nowhere near big enough. This coop is made for 3 full size chickens and maybe 4 smaller chickens.

I have five chickens in it JUST at night to sleep and it's pushing it but they're ok. Ducks I'm not so sure.

I usually put aboutv5 pounds in it, if you heap it up the chickens simply spread the feed out while they eat it and you still end up with a lot of feed on the ground. Good news is the wire over the top does keep them from standing in the feed and fouling it. Also I was able to rig mine up so that it hangs using the stands on the ends. That lifts it up off the ground and keeps it from getting knocked over which chickens will do.

Hi there. The maximum number of chicks I have had under this brooder is 17 Orpington chicks. They did not all fit under the brooder and I felt 17 was too many. It maybe OK for more chicks of a smaller breed. I have now bought the larger EcoGlow 50 as well as the 20.

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.

I use it to feed my 6 chickens. I only fill it about halfway every couple of days. I like that it is up off the ground and seems much better than regular feeders made for chickens. I hung it on the side of the platform their coop is on (an old skid up on cinder blocks) Then I cut a plastic liner for under potted plants and tied it over the top of the feeder to keep the rain out. It functions like a lid.

it should fit 2 small dogs , but the nesting area is smaller and off the end . I don't know if they would use that section . Since there are no roosting bars, it is probably better though for dogs or cats than it is chickens

Yes. I have 3 hens in mine and it doesn't take much when the sun hits it's. And it's only good for about. 3 or 4 not to large hens. Oh and it's a pain in the ass to put together.. :)

Initially it can probably hold about 50, but as they grow, need to reduce the number by placing in seperate brooders. I kept 23 til they were about 5 weeks old & they did OK but were getting crowded, but were able to go outside by then - as the weather was pretty warm @ that time.

Just one. But it's still very roomy for the bigger birds (Buff Orp, Barred Rock, etc.). My hens went through a phase when they all preferred one box over the others. So I found three all crammed into one (but one of them was literally hanging out the opening). The product photo is very accurate regarding space. It's comfortably snug-- enough space for one hen to arrange her nest, but not roomy enough for more than one to be in there happily. I have ten hens (all of the medium-large variety) and three boxes. Works perfectly.

Ours held about 20 stuff animals. That includes medium, small and a couple large ones. I highly recommend it.

I wouldn't use this for chickens. The "house" would barely be large enough for one bird.

Probably a small one would be great. Or maybe 3 Cornish game hens. We like it, it's just not "quite" as big as we thought it'd be. But it works well for camping for us!
