Can I use this old rabbit hutch as a chicken coop?

I have been considering getting 2 Bantam Wyandottes to show at the State Fair, but I wanted to know if an old rabbit hutch would be a suitable coop. They would have a very large fenced in area to run around in as well. I bought this one off of Amazon around 2 years ago. http://www.amazon.com/Frugah-A-frame-Wooden-Rabbit-Animal/dp/B00DE3NBCO However, I don't know if it would have enough room in it, and if the ramp would cause problems for them. I have never owned chickens before. Also, my friend keeps a single chicken as a pet, and it seems fine. Do I have to get at least two chickens for it to be happy?

-would definitely recommend two. Also, that rabbit hutch should work well for two bantams especially if they have access to free-roaming time in a large lawn area. -just add a nesting box/roost on the upper floor. They can navigate a ramp very well. -and, if you have predators such as hawks a covered area or supervision is a must when they're out and about. Bantams don't stand a chance against hawks.

This was the coop which housed our two bantams. -husband built it from recycled fence. It is about the same size as the hutch you have, but yours is much better! The clean out tray on your rabbit hutch is great!
