Anyone else use hoop houses for chicken tractors, runs or as permanent coops for their chickens? I'm making a 4 x 4 coop on a stilts that will serve as a brooder this coming spring at least until I can build them bigger coop. I only want to keep a couple hens (max 6)

Welcome to Backyard Chickens.. Rule of thumb each bird needs 4 feet

Thanks! The coop for my chicks ended up being 4 w x 6 L with a 18" roost plus they've started sleeping on their 2 x 4 sq ft poop board( 38" high) I hope a much "bigger" run added and ready by mid June but it depends on the weather we get for the next couple weeks. Rest assured they'll have plenty of room later. Unfortunately its taking longer than I anticipated to make it all predator proof!I'm thinking the chicks will be ok for a couple more weeks ! They'll be 6 weeks old Wednesday !
