I want a huge, beautiful coop with gigantic run - but it's not financially nor time-wise in the cards this year. I don't yet have chickens but I'm desperate to start, as I've been waiting years to live in a house where I could keep chickens (just moved into our new house at the end of last summer). I'd like 4 chickens to start, but this accommodates only 3 (and that's pushing it if you ask me). My thought was to get two of them and Frankenstein them together (run end to run end), and use this until NEXT spring when we could start on the big, beautiful coop/run of my dreams using lots of leftover lumber from a few different projects we have to do this summer. Do you think two of these would be large enough for 4 hens? We'd let them free range and only shut them in when not home (hubby works from home and I'm a stay at home mom, so we're pretty much home 24/7).
I'm also in Raleigh, NC so the winters are on the milder side, thinking that since this isn't insulated that might be a plus as to where I live.
Measurements of this one alone is 52.38'' H x 82.25'' W x 35.33'' D
I'm a total noob so I'm really needing your input. Being able to buy this (or two of them, actually) and not have to worry about building a coop would make life SO much easier right now, as we have other house projects going on, and I wouldn't feel rushed, nor would I have to wait another year to have my girls.
