How many bantams for this coop?

[christinethemac]

How many bantams would fit comfortably in this coop? They will have a very large run and would only be confined during negative degree weather days in the winter. 59"; L X 29.5"; W X 31.9"; H

My guess would be 4-6 bantams x

4 to 6, depending on the type of bantams. If Cochin or Brahma bantams, then a max of 4.

my coop is a similar size and I have 3 seramas and they all sleep in one nest box lol so i would easily fit 6 of them in the coop. X

I've got 2 d'uccles, a white frizzle cochin, and a japanese bantam. Was thinking of adding one or two more chickens to the mix.

 

[emmaellis111]

Good combination lol. There would be plenty of room in the coop even if u added the another 2. X

That's a cute coop! I agree with emmaellis111, 6 max.

Thank you thank you! Going to add a black frizzle and a silver sebright this weekend. I read bantams need about 8 or 9" of roosting space so thinking the two 29" roosts in the coop should work.

 

[emmaellis111]

Yeah that would work fine. Btw you have my favourite breeds. Duccles and sebrights.

they are lovely birds x

Yes one d'uccle is mille fleur and the other golden neck. I've got quite the spread! We suped up the coop with outdoor paint, shingles, and extra pieces of wood inside to prevent drafts. Hopefully they'll be happy in there.
