I have 6 bantam chicks and in search of a new coop. The number will drop because I’m sure I have roosters in the group and I cannot have roosters in my area.

I came across this website and saw their A-frame coop. It looks like it’s well built and I’m considering it.
If I end up with 6 bantam hens, what is the square footage per chicken? I’m looking at the smaller coop which claims to house up to 6 bantams. The coop is 3’W x 6’L x 3‘ H. My chickens are mostly free range but when I’m not home I put them inside.
Would this style with the bottom run be too small or sufficient?

Has anyone used an A-frame coop style? If yes, pros and cons?
Has anyone purchased from this company before?
I’ve included the link because the company does mostly videos and the pics they offer are too small.

Thank you for any advice and suggestions.

Seems small even for 6 bantams.

Aframes are notoriously hard to protect from the weather while providing good ventilation.
Upper roosting areas are small.
Keeper access is sketchy.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!
