Can this be used to house chickens?

Yes, I believe it would work for chickens. A few weeks back, I saw a cage at Costco that looked a lot like this one, but was designed for chickens.

Yes but maybe only 1. Chickens need room to move and this doesnt have that much room for that. I have chickens and it is too small for my pets. We have the rabbit in the cage.

No, it's long but not wide. And it fell apart in a month! I wouldn't recommend this at all.

I used it for chickens and it was a nice housing unit the one issue I did have was with the nesting box. The floor of it can be easily pushed up by predators that get under it. You would have to reinforce this area.

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.

I have one for Chickens, but I love it, you can move it easily, access to pets is easy. I am getting angora Rabbits and they will go in it, and so I am building a another chicken coop, I would highly recommend.

I do not think so, as it is meant for reptiles and has UV (you need infrared for chickens)

I wouldn't suggest this. It's not very big for my 9 chickens and it wastes away very quickly.

If there the size of quail eggs you will need quail rack. Im using ggame fowl eggs which are smaller than most chickens so I assume it will work.

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.

Sure I don't see why not. I actually use a 10x10x6 chain link kennel for the few chickens I have. I tied a plastic netting over the top so Hawks do not get to them.

No. It's safe to use around chicks. I used one in a section of my coop to keep the grow outs warm.

You should just be able to leave it out the chickens will get into it fine. We have also used for chickens.

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.

I don't think it's possible. I had to put the cooler inside the coop. We only have one chicken and the water lasted a long time! The chicken also learned how to drink from it right away. I think this is a great product, only downside is the price.

We actually purchased this exclusively for chickens. It puts off an extremely small amount of heat. If a reptile is laying on it, then it will work fine. However, chickens tend to roost a few inches off the ground and the ambient heat was basically worthless. Get a black heat lamp instead. It looks dark, but the infrared waves keep them warm. We also used a standard red heat lamp, but the chickens got too close and one chick had a few melted tips on a feather. We turned it off immediately.

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 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 not use this for a dog. It is really best used for a few rabbits or birds, such as small chickens. The area under the coop is very low. You will probably find something more appropriate for your dog a on the net, just look around for small dog shelters with run. Good luck.
