What is the best size for a chicken coop?
The right size for a chicken coop depends on how many chickens you have. Usually, you should have at least 2-3 square feet in the coop for each chicken so they have enough space to move around. Take a look at our coops that can fit 10 chickens!
What is the best layout for a chicken coop?
A good layout includes roosting bars elevated off the ground, nesting boxes in a quiet, dark corner, proper ventilation, and easy access to food and water.
Where is the best place to put a nesting box?
Place nesting boxes in a quiet, low-traffic corner of the coop, away from roosting bars. This provides hens with a secluded, dark space where they feel safe to lay eggs. Regularly collect eggs to keep the nesting boxes clean and inviting.
Can I customize the layout of a medium sized chicken coop?
Yes, many models offer customization options for decorating the coop but not for the specific design. Most nesting boxes, foundation pieces, and roofs are not customizable.
