Is my coop too small?

It's more room than my birds have! ( but they free range all day)

That is enough room in the coop if the run is covered. If the run is not covered, you're going to have some issues when they have to crowd into the coop to stay out of the elements.
If the run is covered, put roosts in the run, fresh treats regularly ( especially when they can't free range) and maybe a straw bale or two, and they should stay entertained enough for you not to have any issues. If you run is not covered at the moment, a heavy duty clear sheeting is what I tie on. This give the chickens protection from snow, rain, and ice, but still lets in sun shine so that the run isn't dark. I replace it every 2 winters, and it holds up well. Really, if the run is covered, you shouldn't have issues. If it's not, the coop will be tight.


Can you post a link to where you got that plastic sheeting?
