Anyway, I took a look...and you said the first coop?? looks very small. I wouldn't try to put more than 4 standard sized hens in there. 3 square feet per hen is a good rule of thumb. Good luck
 
If I get it it will have to house no more than 6 bantams. I was just wondering how many standard hens it could hold although I don't really need to know that.
 
I may be doing this wrong, but let me try:

20.9" X 20.9"= 436.8"sq. Divided by 144 (1 sq ft) = 3 sq ft. If you need 2 to 3 sq ft / standard chicken, I think 6 bantams would be pretty crowded...

Ok so my math wasn't wrong! I was just wondering how someone would list that as a chicken coop when it is so small!​
 
I am new to this but I have read alot about needing ventilation and none of these look like they have any ventilation at all. Since I live in an area where it frequently gets in the 90's in the summer I would be afraid my chickens would cook in a house like this.

Thats funny.... because I thought the same darn thing! I have been so freaked out making sure our coop has enough ventilation and these appear to have barely any.

If you would have read you would have found out that along the back it has grilled ventilation. I emailed the seller and they said it measures 36" by 24" plus there is a hole in the front and the only time the door will be closed is at night. I would never think of buying a coop without ventilation, I know how to raise chickens

I just wanted second opinions on maybe purchasing this.

ETA: Why would you keep your chickens cooped up inside during the day?If it gets in the 90's where you live leave the door open to the coop and they can go out if they get too hot.
