I just looked at the photos, and wondered if you couldn't put another perch or two up higher in the coop??

You probably could...it's not as big as it seems in the photos. We have R.I. Reds, and 2 full-grown chickens in there at once is a full house pretty much.

You could if you had smaller chickens in there... it is tall enough for at least one perch higher up.

It might be possible but the average sized chickens would be crowded a bit. There also would be not enough clearance of you install a heat bulb for cold winters. If you have plans to use it for Cornish hens or other smaller birds, installing perches could be done easily.I only have two birds residing in this coop, and they are comfortable. I could probably get away with a total of four( I have Rhode Island Red birds)but, then they would be more than cozy and might squabble for space. I found this a good starter coop, but I'm already looking to expand into a larger one.

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.

No, please don't make 6-8 hens live in here, this coop is small I have bantams I would only do maybe 4 or 2 regular size hens. The divider for nest box only allows 2 each side, and only has 2 roosting bars

That pic is very misleading. They should really change it. The hangers are actually completely separate. There is no perch. They're just 3 separate hangers. Hope this helps. :)

Sure. It'll be kind of small for a dove, but they can use it. Similar to a chicken, I wouldn't use it as one of the primary perches because the wood pieces are far too small for dove feet. Hope that helps.

There are four perches on the feeder. If the birds are particularly small or friendly with each other, they might fit two on each perch.

I havnt thought of that. But I can see that working.I don't have any way to do that with my so I'm going to get another one to expand my space. And my dogs love it. . It gets them outdoors. The only problem I have is a way to secure it to the ground. Glad to help you out. Nickie

I got this for my gray and he has an adequate amount of room. The plastic perch only goes halfway across the cage. I suppose that you could fabricate a longer perch. In theory, you could put both birds in it as long as you don't expect them to do anything but sit there. My gray just sits still in it when I take him outside to sit with us in the evening. Mainly it is just for him to be with us. I'm pretty happy with it. Very sturdy.

Yes, you could easily add on. This coop is built in the cheapest way!!! I read the reviews, but I didn't have a clue about chickens, so I just went ahead and purchased it. If I were you, I would just build one. This coop will probably fall apart with in the year, so I will be forced to build one.

funny you should ask that... I used this coop as designed for a few months with no problems. Later, my chickens were in a shed-turned-coop (much bigger), and I just used the "run" part of this as a little shelter in their run and hung a waterer in there. The coop was also sitting out separately as just an extra shelter they could use in the run. We recently had some strong winds, and both things were totally blown over. However, this was when separate, so I think that is worse. Also, really, you probably could anchor this down if you just put some strong wire through the hardware cloth around the bottom edges & over the wooden bars and then staked those down with something - maybe not a bad idea if you get strong winds like I do.

You can, but I wouldn't . Because unless u bought them as babies together, they might not get along #1 # 2 Birds can be territorial. I have a English parakeet and he needs that much space on his own. Hope this helps.

Yes you can,because I did but it was a tight fit. I fit it on the bottom level! Even though it was a little tight my animals where still happy!

Hi! I would not recommend this chicken coop. I received the wrong coop in the mail and it was only half there... It was red and white and had no instructions or tray or anything. I ended up getting mine at cconly and am very happy with it.

Honestly, I don't think the perches are large enough to accompdate a crow. Maybe a smaller one but I don't think a larger one would fit! Can't say for sure since our crows tend to feed UNDER the feeders.

you can put two in there for a short time because they will probably spend most of their time on the bottom anyway like mine LOVES to do....but as they get bigger they like their own space and they would out grow. The top portion of the the hutch is not a large space ....the nesting box is about the size of large boot box.

Yes, from pictures I've seen on the internet. I wouldn't put more than one bird in it though.

The birds must fly closely to item it seems.... I had to put in 6 of the machines in my car port area to cover the whole space... They were nesting in certain places and I put them about a foot away, solving the problem...... He worked with me selling at a discount due to 6 items... They do work but I think the proximity must be close. I also had beams that might have made it necessary to put them close to the problem.....
