Can you fit small chickens on it?

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

Yes, you can even fit large chickens in it. I have had two different brands, and this one is larger. The instructions say you can fit 2 chickens in it, but I would tie them with the provided twine.

Umm...yeah..you can fit a small Chicken in it. Hey Anne, are you in Colorado by chance?
1875588
yes! You most certainly can. Its frikkin fantastic! We have used it a bazillion times

Hi Anne, YES - The two prongs are about 4 inches apart and can be inserted thru anything 5 or 6 inches in with. There is also a basket that rotates and a small chicken could be split and placed in it. Either is a great way to roast. To be a "Smart A-- and say " as long as the chick is out of the egg, Ronco will roast it." Ronco Roaster is the best way to cook PERIOD. Jim

i guess u can , but I would remove the wheels after so your coop is resting flat on the ground. Me & my hub was able to move it very slow by picking it up on both ends with the chickens still in it . We have four chickens that will be laying hens and would not put more because of the size.

I don't think so. It would be too small. This is made for more of a regular chicken or Cornish game hen.

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

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

Definitely not. You can 'comfortably' fit a ~7lb chicken, but that's it. And be very careful - the tray & grate "tip" backwards as you pull them out - you HAVE to hold the tray/wire shelf steady until it 'catches' on the side support again (it's like there's a 'dead space' in the middle where the tray has nothing to rest on).

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

It's close, but I fit a chicken under the lid successfully.I only did it once. I'm not sure if there is much variance in size among chickens.

maybe . if she squeezes.it is a very small hutch. i dont use it anymore for my two chickens.

Only if your birds are very small, this is a great cage for the money !!!! Good luck ......

No. This would be a squeeze for a single standard chicken of any breed. I considered using it as a broody hutch, and it's really too cramped even for that. For chickens, it only works for banties or for young standards under about 3-4 months old.

It is not large enough for a 5 lb chicken. Its for small jobs like Dim Sum, string beans, carrots, etc. I suppose for comparison's sake, a single Cornish Game Hen would fit - just barely.

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.

It's big enough, but not worth the money, dose not hold up in weather, you can fence off a section of your chicken yard just for chicks, that way they are safe from big chickens and they are still with the group.

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

We have two bantams in it. We set it on a foundation of cement blocks to raise it about 10 inches. Without the blocks, the area under the shelter was so short the chickens didn't want to go under it. I wouldn't try to put standard size chickens in it, the door hole and interior of the shelter are just too small, in my opinion.
