How much space does a bantam vorwerk need?

[playhouse hens]

I have a little Tykes playhouse and was wondering how many bantam vorwerks I could get if I used it for the coop. the playhouse is 3.12 by 3.5. I have the run and everything planed out i just want to know how many I can get. so if anyone can help me with that or any thing else I should know that would be great.

Thanks!

What the heck is a vorwerk??? That's a new one on me.

However, if it's a bantam breed of chicken (which I presume it is), then it still (in my opinion) depends on whether you guys have winters or not. If you don't get any snow, then I might house (of course you'd still want an ample run for the coop) 4 birds inside. If you're in an area that gets snow in winter time (because then they would probably stay inside a lot more), then a pair or trio of very small bantams....

We get snow but not a lot last winter we got none.

Last year's mild winter was GREAT, wasn't it??? Okay, I looked up azyg's link, and see that those bantams are probably about the size of d'uccles. You could probably have 3-4 of that size. If you don't have a covered run, you'll need to shovel when/if you get snow, because that's a bit cramped in my opinion, but certainly doable if you stay on top of things...
