zHi, new member no chickens yet, but working on a coop and thinking about bantams. Am I correct that taller coop is better than wider for this breed?

Hello, and welcome to BYC.

Hi and welcome to BYC! We're so glad you decided to join us! How many chickens do you plan to get? Other than their roosts, chickens don't really need height in their coop. But having a tall, walk-in coop is much easier all the way around in my opinion. Browse around a bit through the coop pages here. You'll find lots of different sizes and styles, I'm sure it can help you decide what's right for you. Good luck and have fun!

Hi and welcome to BYC. The more ground space your flock has, the better, imo. Here are some helpful links:

Welcome to BYC.
So glad you decided to join an Egg-citing forum. Keep reading and ask questions because BYC has answers! Congratulations!
A taller coop isn't that it's better, what's best is having enough space for your flock is more important.
4 sqft per bird but, I went 5sq ft per bird inside the coop.
This is important when the weather might be bad and they don't want to go outside. The recommendations for an outside run 8-10 sq ft per bird. But, since I have the space, I gave the 15-20ft per bird and a free range o I took daily. I found less bullying goes on.
Congratulations.
