Hi all, I wanted to share my little weekend project. I basically got 2 and slapped them together. I also have a video with a little tour. Enjoy!

Could you post the dimensions of one? I couldn't find them online and I need to figure out how much space to clear for the one I'm getting

That's pretty impressive mod.
Someone grew up with an 'erector set'?
Still a 'tiny coop' tho.

Haha, growing up I was always building little contraptions that would drive my mother crazy.

Anyway yup you're correct, this setup is a little smaller than I would want. While I was in the Philippines for a good bit of time, my family has about 10 acres over there our flock would have to free range. On the other side of our house there is an area of about 8x50 feet, however unfortunately that is the side that I have a neighbor. To avoid any potential future issues we opted to have our chickens in this little secluded corner. Just hills to the left and front. My goal is to have 6 pullets. We just have 8 for now just in case we lose a chick or one turns out to be a roo. Once they get larger we'll see if we need to thin the flock.

I wish we can let them free range as well, but that hill to the left has a flock of falcons that constantly circles lol. Also I'm in a pretty rural area in southern California so plenty of coyotes, racoons and opossums every where.

Makes a perfect broody-hen-hatching-tons-of-eggs-all-the-chicks set up. I can’t tell, did you weld the joints? And use the door frames for windows? It’s fantastic!
