Is this a good coop for now ?

You don't need a rooster to have eggs from the hens so I'd rehome him and get a second hen instead.

If the goal is eggs for eating, yes.

But if the original poster wants to hatch eggs and breed more chickens from this pair, then the rooster would be very necessary.

You should have nine hens to a rooster, that way he does not affect egg production and overall hen happiness.

It depends on the rooster.
Some people pen a rooster with one or a few hens for breeding purposes, and some of those are just fine. Some other people have large flocks (way more than 10 birds) with only a single rooster, and some of those hens are still over-mated.

The common guideline of 10 hens per rooster has nothing to do with keeping the roosters or the hens happy. It's a guideline for big commercial places that produce fertile eggs for hatching: they need at least 1 rooster per 10 hens to be sure the eggs are fertile.

It is certainly big enough for 2 birds. I mean bigger is always better, but it is way bigger than some of those that are sold commercially. The hen/roo ratio is the problem and possibly predators.

If breeding is the goal tho then the coop definitely isn't sufficient for that which was the original question. Lots of upgrades would need done including more hens which I really don't think this pen has enough space for.

The original question said "for now."

Other than the major fact that predators might get in, this pen IS sufficient to house one pair of chickens. Not the chicks they may produce later, not more hens added, but yes the current pair.

And no, breeding does not always require more than one hen. But it might require a separate pen for the rooster if he over-mates the one hen.

Ouch. Just have to warn ya about one thing. Roosters are very... uhh.... sexually active. Your hen is gonna be tormented all the time and will be unlikely to lay very many eggs. You should have nine hens to a rooster, that way he does not affect egg production and overall hen happiness. As for the coop, it looks just fine for now.

Yeah working on the roof the hens

This is my coop where I house 1 rooster and 1 hen it may look small but they have lots of space to walk around

What's the measurement on that?
Where are you located in the world?

Looks large enough for a pair to me. The rooster may or may not overmate the hen- time will tell.
Many people keep a pair or trio with no issues.

The biggest issue is probably security - predators could get through the chicken wire. The OP doesn't say whether the birds roam outside the pen during the day.
There's always risks when keeping chickens, so you pick and choose your battles.

I would expand the coop more for more space. You could do 2 hens and one male by increasing the coop with 3 more feet and one for feet in length.
