hi
depends on what kind they are. i have 2 one quite tall and the other much shorter. why do you need to know? chicks will bend to get through poop hole.

I have a brown chicken that looks like a battery hen, and 2 that are different colours and they come up to almost my knees! So prob about 12 inches or so. They can however bend and stretch and jump and flap quite high when they want something that you are carrying in your hand!
The pop hole is about 30 cms tall and thay all get through it no probs.

Not a silly question at all
Mine are about 15" high, stretching to about 2' or so when they want to. However, my daughters first ex-batts are really small in comparison, only about 12" if that! The newbies look really huge in comparison
My girls found their way into my heart and now they nest thereComment

I don't think it's a daft question at all. We are hoping to adopt ex-batts in the spring and Himself is busy exercising his brain with a hen-house and run design. I have asked that the house be on legs so the run can extend underneath and offer some shade/shelter. So it's quite important to know they can get under it comfortably!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
