hiya all i have just brought this coop

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Barcelona-De...productDetails

what do you think about it and how many chickens do you think i can have in it ?.

[skeggijon]

We have exactly the same one with 4 bantams. You sould be ok with 4 chickens or upto 6 Bantams in it at max, though the run isn't very big, so they need to be able to run free regularly.

so if i had 3 chickens it would be perfect ?.

[skeggijon]

Absolutely

Yep, the perch inside the coop is ideally suited to 3 chicken. I have posted elsewhere that the nestbox needs extra support, trust me it will sag

Hi there,

Which BB (above) provided me with loads of good advice. Same coop. 4 chickens. Had to move the coop every 3 or 4 days or so or the grass would get ruined. They now run free!

They now run free!

Totally free? You need to be careful...foxes attack in the day too

Please make sure the floor nest box is really secure. My niece didn't and the fox managed to move the bottom of the nest box and get in that way.
