Assistance with coop height.

[TPickers]

Hello!
I need some advice from experienced hen keepers....
I have built my coop and I am raising it off the ground to allow the hens access underneath for shade during the summer and dry land during the winter.

It currently stands 1 foot (12 inches) off the ground.

Is this enough room for a hen to get under comfortably?

Thank you.

I'd say 18" would be more comfortable, also it'd give you slightly better access in case YOU need to get in there for any reason.
