What coops do you recommend to buy?

[birds4c]

I have two bantam chicks (Mille Fleur D’Uccle) that I need to get a coop for. Is there a coop you all recommend to buy? What size should I be looking for? Are there any features I should be looking for? I’m in a neighborhood so I need the coop to be inconspicuous.

You can go with a dog house. Add a roost, add a litter pan on the floor for a nesting box and hinge 1/2 the roof.

Ok thanks! I’ll consider that.

Does anyone have recommendations for prefab coops with a run?

You have an interesting idea! Would I need to put chicken wire around it then so they could have some type of a run?
Also, is there a specific one you recommend?
Could I keep the chickens in it at night?
Also, how do I keep it warm?
And last question for now, would a dog house get enough ventilation?

I'm afraid that there are no prefab coops in existence that I could bring myself to recommend even for 2 bantams.

Even if the square footage is adequate for bantams, they are almost universally poorly-built and even more poorly ventilated.

Omlet and "Amish" coops are usually better made, but they are still poorly ventilated and the Omlet runs may need to be reinforced with hardware cloth depending on what predators you have in your area.

Speaking of that, where, in general, are you located? Climate matters, especially when it comes to housing. (You can add it to your profile so people can give better advice).
