Thank you! I think I could probably attach this run to the main coop's run, so it'd have the space of both (total 100 sqft). Definitely should be enough for 3.

Does anyone have any experience with this run? It seems like a good potential add-on, but I'm not sure if the wire would be able to keep predators out. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-universal-poultry-pen-8-ft-x-8-ft-cr0808

I decided that I won't be using this coop, and if I do, it'll only be with some sort of extension to the run. Might be a good summer project. Thanks for the help!

I went back to the TSC today, and measured the henhouse. It's 44" x 50", so a little more than 15 sqft. Smaller than I thought, but definitely not 4.4 sqft small. Run is roughly 36 sqft. The wood seemed to be of average quality, looked to be about 1/2" or 5/8" thick. The wire is good strong...

I measured the base of the hen house when I looked at it in person. It's about 4' x 5', not sure where the given number is from.

I was saying that that was the total space per bird. The henhouse is ~20 sqft, run is ~36 sqft. Here's a slightly better pic I found, the run is about 9'x4'. The wood seemed better to me than the wood used in other prefab coops, I think it's fairly durable. I looked at a few at my local TSC last...

Yikes. That doesn't sound good. What about bantams, like silkies or Cochins? I don't want to buy just two chickens, in case one passes away and I'm left with a single lonely bored hen. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I'm thinking about getting a few chickens this year, and this is the coop which I think might be suitable. It's the "Producer's Pride Villa" from TSC. I know it looks like the typical little prefab coop, which I know would be unsuitable for chickens. However...
