How many chickens can it accomodate?

4- full size. 5-6 bantam. Best if not moved after you set it up. Had to move it twice & now coming apart.

In my opinion, 3 standard or 4 bantam. Although they go in to sleep and lay eggs, there is not a lot of room to roam.

I have 3 chicken in the barn they have sufficient space to move around. Anymore will be very limiting, >6 will be crowded.

We have four that share the space. I can't imagine more than that in this sized coop. The side box is used as the nest where they lay their eggs. They do a good job of sharing time in the nest and their eggs are easy to get out of the coop by just lifting the small roof.

I would put more than 2 or 3 adults....I used it for some chicks when they were transitioning to outside last spring.

I would suggest 2 chickens. Possibly 3 but very crowded. We use it as a rabbit pen and we have 3 chickens in a coop 3x the size of this one. I think it's great for baby chicks.

Absolutely! It will take 2 small chickens or one larger one. We've done the Purdue oven stuffer roasters and they come out great!

The nests are designed for one chicken at a time. We have 6 boxes for 17 hens and it works just fine.

A small to medium chicken can get under it and lay there in the shade. A full size chicke can squeeze through to get to the other side, but not standing up straight.

I think this coop is too small inside for 4 regular size hens. I decided to only house 3 hens myself. Even with a larger run (which I added) I think the maximum should be 3 otherwise your hens may become stressed.

You could probably fit 10 parakeets in this cage. It's a tall and wide cage.

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.

Unless your hens are banties or silkies, I think 4 is too many. And, they'd likely roost in the nest box and make it dirty.

I don't own this but have been studying coops before I build one. Think about it. The overall length of this product is 5'. The coop can't be more than 2' of that and it says it's 27" deep. So the floor on the inside of the coop is about 4 square feet. That's the recommended space PER CHICKEN by most of the experts. Visualize a 2' x 2' square on your floor. Now imagine three or four chickens standing much less moving around in that space. This is a one chicken coop.

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.

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.

Yes. You could fit 2 smaller chickens, like around 3 1/2 pound chickens. You could leave them whole to make a stock with. They would touch and your pot would be full, but you could do it. I would actually recommend buying the next size up if you want to boil two chickens on a regular basis.

38 in long by 32 in wide by 10 deep. It holds (comfortably) about 50 chicks until they are about 2 weeks old. Then you may want to start moving them somewhere.

I would not house more than 4 full size chickens in this or 6 bantams. You can fit 6 full size birds but they may be a little crowded and keeping it clean would be a chore.

I'm not sure. I guess it depends on how large. It would hold an average sized chicken.

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.
