More chicken coop hen At Bottom Of The Page
Is this big enough for a backyard chicken coop?
the actul house (coop) is 2.2 feet tall by 5 feet long.
the run part is 3.2 feet wide and 13 feet long and 4 feet high
how many hens will fit?
how many bantam hens will fit?
thanks
the coop part can be however deep
An adult chicken of a large breed will need a minimum of 1.5 sq. metres of run space, so I'd say your maximum would be 4 birds. This would be more crowded than I'd like for my hens, if they're to be in there all the time and not let out during the day to free-range, but you might manage 4 bantams. They also will need about 30cm each of perching space, and this should all be on the same level within the henhouse, as the top perches will be most in demand if they're not, and this may lead to fights. If you went above 4 birds you'd also need two nestboxes in the henhouse, but one would do for 2-4 hens.Three hybrid layer hens might be quite a good number for you, because when eventually one dies and the others are getting on a bit and not laying so well, you can then get another two, ringing you up to four, as it's never a good idea to add only one at a time because she'll get picked on.
Also consider how many eggs you'll realistically eat - I have 3 hybrid hens, laying an egg each most days, (19 last week) and this is more than enough for us. Remember the more birds you get, the more mess there is to clear up, and conditions can get quite nasty, especially in the cold and wet of winter, if they're crowded. Also, with headroom of only 4ft, it's going to be difficult to get in there to clean it up. Have a look at the Practical Poultry Forum site, for lots of friendly and knowledgeable advice from experienced chicken-keepers - go to http://www.practicalpoultry.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl -see you there, good luck with the hens!
