:frowYou have so much to look forward to during these dark days of winter!

Take some time and look on the coops pages posted by BYC members . Lots of inspiration there for sure! Big , small, fancy, not, whimsical, utilitarian... you'll fine all types!
Beware of prefab coops and read all reviews! If you have questions, come here and ask!
We'll tell you the truth based on your needs.

While often quite cute, the manufacturers photos are often misleading.
They look big enough and somehow the pictures always show a number of chickens that in reality would never happily share such a small living space.

Welcome to the site!
BYC is a great place to learn and make friends too.
 
Hi and welcome to BYC :frow We're so happy you've decided to join us:ya

It's been pretty well covered but I'll be more articulate. Most prefab coops estimate number of birds based upon 1-2 sq ft per bird (which is what is done in confinement housing). Reality is much closer to 4-5 sq ft per bird and 10 sq ft for run. More is better and there is this thing called chicken math that you'll learn about soon enough. we're also known to be enablers, so unlike support groups where they help you to stop certain behaviors, we tend to encourage said behavior.... There's never enough birds in the flock.
