Coop Builders, is it possible to build a coop here??

[BYCWannaBe33]

Ok so obviously I would clean the area up and trim back the overgrown tree-bush thing.. but any design thoughts for making a coop out of this area? I'm thinking 2-3 bantams since the space is limited. Is it possible? I just really want chickens. Any advice/ideas are welcome! Thanks.

What are the dimensions of the space? Is it adjacent to a home? Windows?

 

[BYCWannaBe33]

It's adjacent to our home, no windows. It's about 6' deep and 8' at the widest spot but not a rectangle as you can see.

Is it possible - maybe. Do you have set back restrictions on placement of a coop? Any drainage issues at that site?

as long as its small....

Remember that chickens can be smelly. If you build that close to your home you may have an issue.

No and no

Well it is a pretty small space and looks triangular in shape(?) so I'll assume it's roughly 24 sq ft? Probably could fit 2, maybe 3 bantams, but you'll need to be pretty clever in maximizing space because that's really a pretty minimal space to work with.

There's no run off from roofs on the structures?

Thanks all for the input. I'm starting to think a quail hutch would be a better idea for this area. I'll put the chickens on hold until maybe I get a place with more land someday
