Hello from Arkansas

So the coop we built is 13.75 square feet, way too small... guess we do need that addition, pronto. LOL

Unfortunately these tiny coops don't hold many birds. Better get the tools out for an addition!

He's already been discussing it.
I think the other won't be as cumbersome. The one I posted has removable walls for transport. Looking at some used sheds we maybe able to find and give them a good paint job.

Hello Char, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

The coop is 32x60 inches. We are going to put up a small ladder, just haven't got that far. Would that suffice? So for what we propose, 6 chickens another roost

For a coop with a predator proof run with a solid roof you can get away with 3 sq ft per bird because you can leave the pop door open. But the total living area between coop and run should be at least 15 sq ft per bird. More is always better.
And adhering to the 1 linear foot of roost space per bird is always a good idea. Especially during the hot nights of summer and when integrating new birds.

Sheds make excellent chicken coops!
