Possibly a few. You can buy or make a nesting box, there is enough room inside. The yard isn't very big.

It can house 1-2 chickens. I use the house as the nesting box. There is a removable tray for easy cleaning. I put pine chips to absorb the chicken poop. Absolutely love it for my two chickens! Extremely easy to put together.

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.

I would say absolutely. I have average sized chickens (not the little bantams) and I have seen two of them in one nesting box before. From what I have seen of homing pigeons, they are smaller than my chickens.

Yes. I have two of these in a chicken yard with eight Rhode Island Reds. The girls lay eggs in both of them but prefer to roost in only one of them at night. When I had two Leghorns and two Rhode Island Reds everyone was quite comfortable in one henhouse. This is called a chicken coop but is actually a henhouse. This causes some confusion when researching for square footage requirements for your chickens.

It doesn't have a perch, but u could put a upside down shoe box in there. Its a bit smaller than I realized. The nest area lid folds open for nice access. I use pine chips or straw for bedding. I just recently put it in the barn to keep the 6 young bantams warm. Nights r getting too cold. Good luck

No. It seems more decorative than functional. I can't imagine a bird actually nesting in it. I don't think it would even hold up outside due to its construction. I hope that helps!

I don't think that it would be the best thing for them. Its very small. The picture makes it look WAYYYYY bigger than it actually is. I don't think it would be big enough for them to be comfortable. It was fine for my 9 chickens when they were chicks but we had to make a lot of modifications to it and we had to build on. The wood is actually very cheap and it is thin wood. It's not pressure treated for the weather. Ours is falling apart and warpes.

Not unless you cut a hole into it, I thought the same thing when I bought it. :( BUT it does work great for Momma setting or with NEW chicks or just new chicks! I ended up CUTTING mine and putting them together. IT DOES HAVE a door at one end,...But it did not work with my coop.

No, you need to purchase a nesting box specifically designed for birds to lay eggs in!

I can't answer this question. We live in a farming area where the land is fairly flat and most of the habitat for owls and other animals have been destroyed....that's why we wanted to put some nesting boxes up. Good luck and sorry I couldn't answer your question!!

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.

Now that is a question. Not being familiar with the constraints or requirements of a poultry house, I can't answer. If poultry house is a euphemism for chicken ranch, I don't see why not. It is a well-made, sturdy fan.

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

I just bought mine the middle of this summer and there is no nest, but, I did see a couple wrens checking it out, inside. They decided on one of the woven nest I have. Though there is no nest in it either, they sleep in it every night.

No-no place to hang a nestbox on the outside of the cage. I use wicker nests inside the cage.

They do not nest. The walls are straight up and down, which makes a nicer looking cheesecake but does not allow nesting.

Yes, it would be very good for chickens. I actually own chickens, and though we already had a coop built for them, I bought this one for our new pup. It would be ideal for chickens too.
