My husband is nearly finished building a coop for our poults. He copied our chicken coop, which is about 4'8" x 2.5', with four nesting boxes. The turkey coop is only about a foot larger in each direction, 5'8" long x 4' wide x 3' tall (4' tall in the middle of peaked roof).
We're worried it's not big enough. We have 5 standard bronze poults growing fast. Should we sell this coop and buy something larger? Or will it do? The coop will be inside a much larger run (about 1/8 acre) and is only for roosting/nesting.
Edited to add pictures:
This is the coop in progress. Roof, doors not in yet. What do you think, big enough for 5 standard bronze turkeys?
I should add that this is a close copy of our Zen Hen coop.
