Hey guys,
I bought an a-frame coop, that is a little rough around the edges, but I think will be perfect for my 5 chickens (they are only a week old now, so I have some time to spruce it up). One of my concerns is the size of the entry to the two nesting boxes, it's only about 8 by 8. the box itself is 12 by 11. Is that okay? The previous owners didn't have a roost or any covering on the boxes, so I've planned out how to add that, but need to know if I should make those entrances bigger.
My chickens will be normal to large size (buff orpington, welsumer, amercauna, wyandotte, and jersey giant)
