Can the length be extended to accommodate more chickens

No, the length cannot be extended. You should have no more than three chickens in this coop. It is a great coop, but not for a lot of chickens.

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.

Not really. All the panels are preassembled. You would be better off building a custom with the amount of work it would take to stretch this out! But it is adequate for 3-4 hens as is.

Can always modify it. We just added a 15×15 run. This coop is small tho. Good for 2-3 chickens. I have 5 & is very cramped. Thank goodness it was winter so they kept each other warm lol

I think so. I have this feeder for 6 chickens for an extra feeder in their coop. Their main feeder is bigger and lasts them several days, so this should be big enough for 3. Might have to fill every other day for 3.

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

I'm not sure how big those are, but I think 4 regular chickens could fit (two perches, our two share one usually), but no more.

In answer that you probably don't want to hear, no. It is manufactured to the that size (78") and can be extended but not shortened. You should call/contact Ideal Pet Products to go over what will work for you.

Chickens-absolutely. I believe they could also lift a small turkey. The surface area including the prongs measures 8.5cm x 12cm (3 1/3 inches x 4 3/4 inches).

Yes, if they're relatively small. Any chickens bigger than 3.25 lbs might fit if they are cut into pieces.

I didn't use mine for chickens. You would have to make nesting boxes and I would say no morethan 3 small or 2 larger

You would probly have to add insulation the nesting area has slates in the bottom I added ply wood to the inside for winter also put in wood shaving and straw they stayed warm enough but I also put tarps around there outside pen to keep the wind off them. House probly holds 3 maybe four chickens . Hope this helps

Yes they would I've had this coop for 2 years with a many as 6 chickens at a time. Directions are not very good, use the picture on the front of the box for putting it together. A good starter coop.

probably, yes....but its great for a few extra people or preparing to have leftovers......we raise chickens and can easily acommodate a 6 pounder

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.

Yes..I'm sure 2 will fit. ..I was thinking about doing the same..I love mine....can move to different places easily..the pins can be a little flimsy but with care the unit works great. .I use it to transition my young chicks before the big coop..hope this works :)

Definitely, and yes. It is the perfect size for our 2 chickens. I've never seen a rabbit bigger than 2 chickens. When assembling simply leave out the perch and divider. Should be super fur a rabbit!

We have 4 chickens and plenty of space. It could probably hold 6 comfortably. We were however unimpressed with the quality of the coop. It was partially broken within a few months. We have re-inforced it and hope it gets through the winter. I don't think its lifespan will be more than a year. Julie

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

Yes, you could probably even put 2 whole chickens sideways in it. That is if they are about 4lbs & you're not putting anything else in it. Hope that helps! We love this crockpot more than the other 2 we have had.
