I have never raised chickens before and am thinking of giving it a try. I have access to sturdy wooden packing crates that I was thinking of using as chicken coops. This measure slightly over 2ft x 3ft and about 40 in tall. I was thinking of putting a metal roof on these and some roosts inside.
My question is since these are so small, how many chickens could fit per coop and is it possible to have multiple coops in one chicken run? Should I connect several crates as a single coop? Or should I just abandon the idea all together.
Thanks
