Why does every single retail coop seller lie about how many chickens their coops can hold?

No way anybody with brains would do that

you would think that, except this is the requirement for industrial *Organic* poultry keeping practices.


My point stands that backyard keepers aren't trying to be industrial; so changing the recommended space on the packaging and websites for manufactured coops would go a long way in helping alleviate all the issues that people have and come here every day to solve.

Not chickens, but I still remember pleading with someone NOT to listen to the, “this coop can hold 10-15 ducks!” when I think it could hold at most maybe 2 or 3. The coop was also very flimsy and extremely overpriced.

This person proceeded to tell me they’d, “try it out anyway” and “IF” it didn’t work out, they’d get something larger..

Truly, I’m upset with these companies for tricking people into thinking their coops are any good.
