This trap can be used in a chicken or peacock coop, however; keep in mind that the unit should not be exposed to the elements. Also for best results, we recommend keeping the plates clear of debris.

If your chickens are still babies, yes, as this litter is soft and warm and small animals enjoy snuggling into it. However, adult chickens have a need to scratch the ground for food so a sandy, grassy or clean dirt floor is best for them. Chickens usually live outdoors so try to memic their natural habitat in their play areas. Care fresh litter is an excellent product to cut down on animal respiratory issues because it's dust free and all natural. This bedding material / litter would work well inside the night time chicken coup where they sleep, but not recommended for outdoor, ground use.

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.

I use mine in my chicken run, in the portion that is underneath my coop, and out of the weather. It sits on bricks on bare earth. My only question, since it is a warming element, is could it be placed on a wooden floor if it's inside the henhouse. What kind of flooring are you planning on putting it on? It does not warm up very much, enough to heat water to keep it from freezing. If you are planning on putting it on a wooden floor, I would contact the manufacturer and ask. Personally, I'm hesitant to put any warming element, including a heat lamp, anywhere that would be sitting on wood or straw.

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'll go out tomorrow and check for you. But now that I know a lot more about chicken care (we knew nothing when I bought this) I would spend the money on building supplies to build a much bigger coop that is tall enough to walk into and gives the hens plenty of room. It takes awhile to build and is very difficult to clean the floor because ya just can't get in due to the size. Also, the ladder up to their coop kept falling and we really had to reconstruct it to keep it from collapsing on the poor dears when they walked on it. This Pawhut is cute as a bug when it's all built but you'll never be able to have more than 4 hens in it, and that's pushing it. Look at some home made chicken enclosures and coops and seriously consider building one yourself that you can walk into and around in and expand your chicken family if you want to. These girls (hens) are pretty addicting and are so fun. I just wish I was not limited to 4. BTW, it definitely looks a lot bigger in the photo than it really is.

Well idk. I don't see why not tho. I like the way it's made. It is my favorite feeder and I have tried 3 other styles. The metal uprights keep my chickens from wasting feed on the ground. The only thing I did to optimize its construction was to fasten it to a piece of a 2x6 the same length to give it move weight so they wouldn't turn it over. Some had suggested wire tie to fence but I like to be able to move it around and pick it up to clean it. So I found adding the platform base made more sense for me. Best of luck with your flock!

This coop is large enough for 4 medium size chickens Example (Rhode Island Reds) and only for roosting at night.Coop needs to be opened every morning.At sun down they will go in coop on there own than you lock it every day.Coop is to small for chickens to live in 24/7

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 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.

I have a dog and my dog does not have a clue the unit is on and working next to her. So no impact for dogs. For your situation, all I would suggest you test the unit with one chicken around you and see if she reacts. If it doesn't bother her, she would behave normally and then you could install it. The unit will work in the coop or nearby just fine. Good luck.

I live in a Cincinnat suburb and usually get your weather 12 hours later. I started my 8 week old chickens in the coop in late November with nighttime weather around 23 degrees. They faired very well and didn't have a problem with 15 degrees one week later. The double wall construction works wonders.

I have 3 bantams and it is too small along with an attached running pen. I wouldn't keep more than 2 small grown chickens. They also don't use the roost that is provided and sleep in the tray or nests upstairs. My hens should be laying next month...it will be interesting if they use the nests for laying eggs. The pen is not designed to be moved or relocated...I've had mine a few months and it is starting to crack and the end door has been replaced with longer screws several times! The coop is made of light material and won't last very long especially if you relocate your birds to new grasses. Also, the nests are getting loose with no use!! From one grandma to another, you get quality with what you pay.

You can mount it on the ladder as long as the chicks are closed off inside. Just keep it low and away from the plastic pan. The heat will rise and keep them warm, but only if they have most of there feathers. I did this at week 4 with low temps of 45 degrees. I pulled it out at daylight and let them have access to the rest of the coop. You can also add a battery light inside to make them feel safe.

Can I used this in a chick coop. Also, where is the power source - what does it look like?

I don't know how it works in chicken coop. I installed mine in the attic and works very well as a repellent.

Depends on what you use it for. If you are just keeping your outdoor chickens in for the night then it will probably be OK. otherwise it will be too small. They won't have much room to move around. The coop is a lot smaller than it appears in the picture. Hope this helps.
