Dom, barred, or Plymouth?

It does look a bit small.

This is a different look. I built this using plans recommended from this site. I know that doesn’t always mean it’s the right way to go. Just saw good reviews on it.

You have BR's. These are BR's :

It’s not a bad coop. I would just recommend some more floor space.
I see another rooster - two boys with three girls isn’t a good plan.

Yeah, I have 3 hens and a rooster. Ideally, I would like 4 hens and a rooster. You think my coop is too small for 5 chickens? It’s 16 square ft of scratching room. They all have enough room to get on the roost. I have 2 nest boxes that are about 1.5’ x 2’. After they get down to dirt, I move the whole coop over to give them fresh grass to scratch and eat.

Most people do 6 or 7 square feet per bird in the run at the minimum. With less room, they're more likely to pick each other and cause bleeding.

Mine have 5soft each. And they’re fine. We live in the city. We have a big, airy coop. They never fight. Probably because they get let out for hours each day.

What are you judging by?

They have single combs and yellow legs.

Definitely too small. You should have at least 48 square feet for 5 chickens, 35 if you're pushing it.

I had some bantam hens and a rooster. I got rid of them and only have 3 hens and 1 rooster left. I did deviate from the plan just a little bit. It didn’t call for a guard cat, but I thought that was a nice addition!

If you're moving the coop to fresh grass, and your girls aren't picking on each other, I think your coop is fine. In general more room is better, though. I really wouldn't consider getting another hen with what you have. In an ideal world you want 10sq feet of run space per chicken, so 40 sq feet for the chickens you have. Your coop looks very cute!

Do you have a pic of all four of the chickens in question? I only see one rooster based on what you showed. You definitely have barred rocks. They are great chickens!
