I think i want to multi level my coop to get more chickens in the same space. but i guess i could run that through the coop forums. I have 4x8 x7 space to work with. I plan to make a ramp when i install the nesting boxes in 1-2 months. i got until oct before i expect a single egg so i have time.
I made a loft ( half as wide as the bottom floor )for the top of my coop & my chickens love it! They roost up there in the summertime & enjoy the view from the windows in the morning when the weathers bad outside but they rarely use it any other time. They never use it in the winter.I always say chickens are smarter than we give them credit.
I think I'm safe in saying most of us have been there, outgrowing our coops. There are some really great ideas on byc on how to expand what you have (including the small houses like yours). Or even taking the next step to a chicken Taj mahal

When I started out I had plans to make this cute 4 x 6 raised coop for 6 chickens but after adding 3 ft of height for ventilation it looks awful lol Some problems can be fixed some can'tI think I'm safe in saying most of us have been there, outgrowing our coops.
