Hey!
So we are getting some chicks in a few weeks, and I’m trying to determine a good coop set up. I made a separate post for a possible shed idea. But I found a local coop builder snd was curious what y’all thought about this.
they describe it as 4x8 coop, and say it fits 6-8 birds. That’s the full area including coop and run. The house itself is 2.25 feet x 4 feet. Again I’m new, but that does not seem big enough if I’m reading other posts correctly. That would only be 9 square feet of house, and 32 square feet of run.
I’ve read several articles and posts and if you go by the recommended 3-4 square feet per bird in the house and 10 ft in the run, then that coop would be good for 3 chickens??? Not the 6-8 they advertise.
or am I completely wrong this Coop would actually work.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated.Thanks
here are pics of the coop
