Only my open floor is 7x7, the coop is 10x12. I put in roosts on one side, food and water towards the center and nests and storage in the armoire. There is also a rope swing in a corner. I already put down the line shavings, it's deep. My biggest concern is that my girls are a month old and too big for their brooder, I really want to get them outside in the bigger area so they can stretch, but not freeze!!
