If I get that coop, how much more space would I have to add to it if I want their home to be not cruel?

You need at least 4 sq ft coop space per bird and at least 10 sq ft run space so at least double that coop. Would probably be easier to just build one. Or else somehow rig two of them together.If I get that coop, how much more space would I have to add to it if I want their home to be not cruel?
At least 2-3x more space. If you're keeping chickens in total confinement (like I do), I feel you have a moral obligation to provide enrichment. I learned very quickly that enrichment takes space (lots of perches, bins to dig in, plants to peck at, etc.). Also keep in mind that the smaller the space, the more you'll have to clean. I have 4 chickens in a 9'x12' run, and I'm in there cleaning at least twice a day.If I get that coop, how much more space would I have to add to it if I want their home to be not cruel?
do you mean NO as in NO its NOT cruelShort answer is NO!
Note that the run is 26x63, (~10sqft).
The coop is 26x22(~4sqft).
Sorry.....I meant NO it's not big enough for 2 chickens.do you mean NO as in NO its NOT cruel
