Help me decide on a chicken coop

[Ebony Rose]

You could probably recover some of that wasted 'nesting box' space by putting sturdy rubbermaid-type totes with lids in those slots. You could store your poultry first aid kit in one, chick feed in another, all flock type feed in a third, and assorted goods such as extra oyster shell or ground egg shell, treats, toys (Yeah, I said toys) etc in another. You'd have access to the totes from the outside of the coop too.
It's a tiny coop, I'd say it's suitable for four to six, depending upon breed.

Hey @cluckmecoop7

everyone is responding to the previous thing you said in your thread, i would recommend you to edit the original thread if possible to avoid confusion. Since this was posted days ago, nobody knows and their simply responding to the original thread. Just a thought to avoid any further confusion.

Im not a fan of those boxes as shaving etc will be kicked right out of them has nothing to keep bedding in.

I am not sure I would buy this one. The ventilation is very minimal and cleaning the inside looks difficult, the box allows cleaning of some areas but I don't see how you get into clean the whole inside unless you crawl thru that side hole.

I was going to mention peak roof ventilation and a power source, especially if your climate calls for some heat.
But it looks really secure.

Would this make a good walk in chicken coop or no?

4'x6'.

Therefore 6 chickens.

How many birds do you want?

Obviously needs a LOT more ventilation, and you need to look at the inside, to see how its framed, so you know how/where/what you are goign to have to do to mount roosting bars, nesting boxes, etc. Attaching to thin skin steel wall, without more, is a recipe for failure.

You also need to give thought to how you are going to cut holes in the steel (tools?) and protect yourself from sharp edges.

What do you want me to do? Every thing I post is apparently too small.

How many birds do you have/want?

Get the minimum square footage and that will give you the minimum dimensions so that you won't waste time looking at coops/sheds that are too small.

I want 10-15 standard size chickens.
