Thank you for the information. Yeah, I know the coop is small, I put in ventilation and even an exhaust fan. Only the 2 Banty chickens go into the coop, the other 2 sleep outside in the duck pile. I am also working on enclosing the bottom part with boards to make a better protected area for them if they want to get in out of the weather.
I don't mean to rain on your parade but I bought that exact same coop from TSC along with six chick's, because thats what the specifications said on the box, and found out pretty quick how poor that coop is, in terms of space.
The actual coop is barely adequate for 2 birds. You have made a magnificent run for them but that doesn't make up for the inadequate home they have to go to at night, and in the colder months will spend most of their time in.
Dont get me wrong as I can absolutely relate, I bought the same coop initially. But you're doing a great disservice to your flock of 4 by keeping them in that space.
I ultimately ended up building my own walk in coop and things are much better.
