Allotment chickens

[Amylouiseschueler]

Change of plan. Instead of having chickens at my home I have cleared a space on my new allotment. I plan from taking advice on here to put some wood shavings in the house part of the coop pictured. I am new to all of this was going to get 2 hens. Just needed to check it looks ok and safe. Thanks

Good morning! So this coop is not going to be where you live? What is the square footage? Hard to tell from pics will they be let out for free ranging or always in the pen?

Hard to tell how big that is but I'm wagering it's probably going to be small even for just 2 chickens, especially if they have to stay locked up most of the time. Also what kind of wire mesh is that? From a predator/pest perspective it needs an apron at the very least.

Still too small for chickens.

So, whatever happened to OP and this coop? Never answered anyone's advice or comments from what I see.

They haven't been back since making this thread....which is not uncommon.
