coop and run okay?

[catecorsaut]

i have a smaller backyard and 3 6 week old chicks. i put together an old coop from a friends and built their run around it. they have perches, two waters, dust bath, grit, lots of treats, and food. i’m worried it’s too small and i feel guilty. i don’t have the space or money to give them a bigger space. will they be okay? i am not getting anymore btw. i love them so much and i want them to be happy.

there will also be a tarp on top to protect from heat and rain!

I would think that is enough room for 3 chickens. Is free ranging an option maybe evenings and weekends or whenever you are able to be out with them?

Your setup is fine for 3 little ladies. It's enough space if you keep it clean.

Looks sufficient for 3

Space should be OK for 3 birds.

Chicken wire is not predator proof tho.

What is that small door wit the slide latch in the side of the building?

kind of lol. i can do it when i’m with them but i worry they would hop the fence leading to the rest of the backyard and then my dogs would go after them if i’m not there.
