We might expand our coop!!!

[MRNpoultry]

My dad started talking about expanding the coop

, when we first got chickens I don't think he liked them as much as he does now. I don't know what brought this on, but I'm fine with him making the coop bigger.

I might need a barnyard, lol
Here is our coop -

congrats! We cant build any more on ours. after this month and next months hatching eggs. I will be done hatching... for a while

I have been trying to get incubator there is one on ebay right now I want. The more you hatch the more room you need. How many chickens do you think this coop can hold right now.

You mean after you build on it or now? If your dad is adding on does he know how big it will be afterwards?

 

[MRNpoultry]

I mean right now if we add on we whould probaly knock off the far wall and add about 3 feet. I need a barnyard for when we go on vacation.

you could probably get about 3 or 4 more girls. You dont want to over crowed. I am building a run that leads up the mountain and down so they have lots of room to roam.

 

[MRNpoultry]

Your talking about before we expand right, how many can your coop hold.

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

I am talking about after. If before I think your at the limit. Do you know the dimensions of the coop?

Quote:
Mine is not finished yet but its going to be over 8/12 feet tall by 10 feet wide. and the length is 10 feet. so I can get a good number of birds in there I think.
