Hi! Welcome to BYC! That is a very cute coop, and probably big enough for you two hens, but I agree with @DobieLover, that you will need a bigger run for them. Also, if you have the space, it's actually better to have 3 hens.

If you do decide to add to your flock though dont buy one lone chicken, it will be pecked and treated quite roughly by the established two so get at least two so they have each other for support, chickens can form quite steong attachments to others so its always good they have a friend in their corner.

P.s, wait until you get your first eggI wonder who will be the most excited, you or hubby. Keep us posted of your new adventure.

I was thinking she could just get the 3 all at one time. She isn't picking them up until Saturday.

I didn't realise that there were more and yes that would be great if she could take 3
