Hey flock friends!
My hubs and I have 6 chicks about 1.5 weeks old right now. We're trying to figure out what type of coop to go with. Maybe you more seasoned chicken folk could help in the decision making process?
We found this one on Craigslist.
Coop A:
Chicken Coop Dimensions:
Outside Dimensions:
112 in(L)x42in(H)x43in(W).
Outside Dimensions Without Nesting box:
112 in(L)x42in(H)x28.7in(W).
Total Run Area Is About 76.4" long x 16.4" deep.
It's hard to tell if this would be sturdy enough for our ladies. Or if it'd be enough space for them, if we'd also be turning them out into our yard on most days.
This is the other coop that we have our eyes on, that seems better suited to us, but is more expensive. It's made by a gentlemen who makes awesome coops near us in Orting, WA. He has one that is 6' tall so you could walk in, i love love love that one, but couldn't spend the $ on it now.
Coop B:
