Did anyone else notice that they put FAKE chickens in their picture?

They couldn't even get the REAL chickens to pose with their gerbil cage!

Oh my gosh, yes! I had to zoom in to check if I was going crazy or they were pulling a fast one!
Joke's on them x2... I'm already a bit crazy & I STILL caught them!

I hear they don’t do well with ramps

My silkies do fine with a ramp but I only have 2 silkies maybe they are just trying to keep up with the other girls.

In my experiencr, prefab coops do great for either a PAIR of standards or a trio of large bantams (like Cochins or larger silies) or a quartet of the tiny ones (sebrights, Japanese, ect.). But it still depends on the personality and you have to be mindful of cleaning.

But my breeding pair of standards and trio of Japanese both (seperately of course) seemed more than fine in my prefab so long as I cleaned it like every 5 days

I didn't see the pen size, but it's basically a little over 8 sq feet, so it would be fine for 2-4 birds, depending on breed size like the info says

My grandma had 2 pet silkies that had no issues getting up on her porch rails and strutting around. Only 2 of her dozens of birds she allowed to do so. I think she would have brought them in the house at night if papa woulda let her.

8 square feet in the run is less than the recommended space for one standard-sized chicken.

The house is 8 sq. Feet. I said I didn't see the run size

Ideal run size is 10 square feet per bird, nowhere near enough room for 2-4

besides that is just for the coop, the run is sold separate.

I said I didn't see the run size and besides, that's sold seperately. It's not attached to the coop unless you attach it yourself.

I was going off of house size for the 2-4 depending on breed size.

It might be just big enough for a couple of bantams, but looks to have no ventilation and not sure how hard it would be to add that in.
