I'm wondering if i could get some opinions on whether I should stick with my coop original plan or adjust the design and go full scale/ish.
This is my current coop. It's about 2' x 4' and is way too small for my needs!
I'm in the process of building an addition to the bottom of it. The addition will raise the coop up approximately 18 inches and double the floor space, essentially creating a 4 foot by 4 foot base area. I have 9 chickens, but they are not living with me at the moment.
Sooooo, my question is: is this going to be big enough?
The current coop will sit on the top center of this 'box' (obviously it's not finished yet).
The thing is, as I was building this I thought that I could turn it into a smallish walk in coop. (okay, i would still have to duck).
Any thoughts?
