Question about Coop Post Height

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hi.  I am a new chicken owner and am building a coop for three hens.  I'm building a modified version of the Purina coop.  We have 1 chick that will grow into a large chicken (Light Brahma).  The Purina coop recommends placing the coop 17" off the ground.  Is that height going to be tall enough for a Brahma chicken to walk underneath?  I want to place their food and water under the cover of the coop.  I've looked everywhere that I can think of online to find out how tall our Brahma will be, but I'm only finding the weight measurement (9.5 lbs.).  Thank you for your help.

I cant imagine her being more than 15 inches tall and definitely able to take her feed and water in a 17" space. My coop is 20" off the ground and my standard cochin has no problem getting to the food and water I put under there.

Thank you!  That gives me an idea of how tall the chickens might be.
