Small chicken Tractor for 2 hens.

[PoultryPets]

Hello, I have 2 hens; 1 a dwarf Wyandotte and another is a Silke. I have this small chicken tractor that I made for them which is 80 cm x 90 cm x 140 cm and I was wondering is this is large enough for them if they are moved everyday onto fresh grass and everyday are let out to free-range for approximately 1 hour. The tractor is predator proof and I wondered if it would work and be sufficient spacing.

Thanks to anyone who replies.

Is that the size of the coop or the coop and run combined?

Hey, its combined though, as I live in a climate where it does not get excessively cold or warm, the indoor part is perches that are covered with a roof. The hens can go under the perches freely and scratch as they are 40 cm high approximately. Thanks a lot for your reply!

That is only 6 sq. ft. For permanent housing, I'd not be willing to keep 2 birds in less than 20 s.f.
