Upstate, NY chicken peeps!

[why do birds]

Saying Hi NY, N Hoping For Some Help,

Hi, we bought a chicken coop from Tractor supply but it's for inside our back hall. It doesn't look very predator proof to us. We have 3 chickens living in our kitchen. We clean their area every day. They are like our "babies". We wouldn't put them outside in the coop from tractor supply. We looked at the hoop coops, they are nice and seem inexpensive and good housing for the birds. One poster uses CC ONLY, http://www.cconly.com/coop__hutches/cc-01__03_series and she said that they work well. I think we would definitely consider the CCONLY coops if we every let our chickies out of the house. Right now they are in a large box in the kitchen, with food/water, and they can fly out if they like. They all tend to cuddle together. They're about 3 1/2 months old now. At night they sleep in an XL dog crate. They are adorable bantams.
