Coop/Run for breeding bantams?

[cherndon712]

How big would I make it if I want one roo and 4-5 hens? I want to breed my Mille Fleur d Uccles and Porcelain d Uccles...Hopefully some silkies soon too!!!

Here's our two Banty coops...

Kid's Playhouse Coop (measures 78"x78"x78")...

Modified Chick-N-Barn/Yard...

Barn dimensions: H: 46" W: 37 1/2" L: 45"

Yard dimensions: H: 26 3/4" W: 45 1/2" L: 45"

Frame dimensions: H: 24" W: 45 1/4" L: 82 5/8"

Hope this helps!

I would think that a 3'x6' area would be a good size for that amount of bantams. That would give them a little room so they're not tripping over each other all the time.

I was thinking about doing something like that! A mini hoop coop.

Thanks! Did you use cattle panels?

Hi Crystal,
Here is a site that has tons of pics - hopefully it will give you some ideas:

Egh what kind of wire did you use and what kind of fasteners?

I love the hoop coop! I would be able to use it in the summer here, but during the winter I would have to go with the other one!!
DH is going to LOVE that site, skeeter! He's a carpenter, so he'll love it more than I do!!
Now that I have some ideas, time to get started!!
Thank you!!
