would this work for 2 silkie hens?

[Chihuahuamom444]

I just have 2 silkies that live a normal life in the coop with the other chickens, they do normal chicken things, and I just got a teeny tiny silkie, a dwarf and she is like a little cotton ball that just sits there and waits for me to be with her while she eats....I cant even imagine her being out there with the others, she is WAY to small, so I am also looking for a cage of some sort she can stay in, prob be a house chicken, she is so tiny she can sit in my hand and is 8 months old. I love her already, I just can't get over how small she is, like a baby.......I love that little hutch but can't imagine her walking up a ramp, I don't think she has it in her

They do have it on ebay for 189.99 free shipping.....but it would be a lot less to build

ugh...DH is kind of ignoring me about the issue...I told him we need to put her in a separate area with another silkie or find a home for the 2 easter eggers if she is going to stay in the big coop. He pretty much just said we're not having 2 coops and ignored me...

Thats not a bad price at all for the tractor, maybe he doesnt want to build another coop? If thats the case then one of these would be fine...Is there anyway to split the coop you have into seperate areas or is it small?

I just found it on ebay for $67 plus $19 shipping. Thats a pretty good price I think!

That's an adorable little coop. Could it be made predator-proof by screening in the bottom? Or do you think that the coop construction itself is just too fragile?

Getting ideas now on my silkie's run.Im not crazy on the idea they're outside, but they want to be chickens

I have cats so I have to be very careful.
