Would like opinions on coop size

Yes it is! The large model. In their own pictures it looks so much bigger.

A year or two ago a forum member realized that one coop company was using toy chickens in their ad photos.

I've seen ones where real chickens are obviously photoshopped into the photo.

What I really want to know is how you got your girls to go in and sit still for you?
Our chickens never want to model unless they've gotten dirty first.

Wow....$539? I can purchase an 8x6 Rubbermaid storage shed, to convert, for that amount.

I asked nicely.

OK the truth is they refused to go in voluntarily. They also don't like to be handled. Luckily they are slow, heavy and terrible at running, jumping and flying. And they are a really docile and easy going breed!

Yes, that's a great idea! I thought it would save me some time not having to modify anything.
