Would this be suitable for a small chicken coop?

Hello, I have one of these that I use indoors to keep my pet hedgehog's cage warm. They are not very powerful for an outdoor or large space, but a few of them would do the Job. I keep a ~3x2x2 ft cage at 70 F when the room is 64 F. Like I said, it works best in a closed area or at a close distance.As far as quality, I've been very happy with it. It's lasted 2 years with no problems and it's nice that it gives off no light.

The coop would be perfect for quail as the mesh is about 1 cm squared. I can just barely get my finger in so no snakes or rodents and more importantly no larger predators. The coop has served us well!

It would probably be ok ...It's not rigid at all and would just curve up little around the outside of the smaller sized crate.

Sure, this would work as a double broiler. Although, these mixing bowls are thin walled so heat transference will be quick. Good Luck.

Yes. You could fit 2 smaller chickens, like around 3 1/2 pound chickens. You could leave them whole to make a stock with. They would touch and your pot would be full, but you could do it. I would actually recommend buying the next size up if you want to boil two chickens on a regular basis.

Can always modify it. We just added a 15×15 run. This coop is small tho. Good for 2-3 chickens. I have 5 & is very cramped. Thank goodness it was winter so they kept each other warm lol

I don't think it would be big enough for a chicken, unless it is a couple of Bantums. I wouldn't put my full sized chicken in there. I hope that helps.

This coop is very cute, but it will not handle more than 2 - 3 chickens. It is very small if you plan to keep them inside all the time. Chickens need room to roost and lay, as well as yard space to forage, this coop does not afford them any space to roam.

i have not tried to move it but i am sure my husband and i could move it. this coop will also need a wood protector on the outside which i have not done yet but will before summers end. i also put mine on bricks to keep it off the ground. i have a 20x40 kennel that my chickens live in, they only sleep in their coop at night and lay eggs in there. the metal locks will also need some rust stop on them, my husband may have to put new ones on it. they should be fine for a few years. you will have to take care of this house but it is easy to use and i feel the chickens are safe at night.

I wouldn't put more than 2. I use this just as a secure nighttime coop and there's a good amount of sleeping/ nesting space, but I don't keep my chickens closed in it during the day as they are used to WAY more space.

Hi---We use ours for mini lop bunnies and the opening is fine for them, so should be fine for the chickens. I actually bought a child's wooden play house from Costco for my chickens. It is sturdier, much bigger, and the materials are better and fastened with screws instead of staples. It was less money too! Since you can stand up in it, it is much easier to clean also.Just add some dowels for perches, and a few nesting boxes, then put some chicken wire in the windows if you want to keep predators out.

funny you should ask that... I used this coop as designed for a few months with no problems. Later, my chickens were in a shed-turned-coop (much bigger), and I just used the "run" part of this as a little shelter in their run and hung a waterer in there. The coop was also sitting out separately as just an extra shelter they could use in the run. We recently had some strong winds, and both things were totally blown over. However, this was when separate, so I think that is worse. Also, really, you probably could anchor this down if you just put some strong wire through the hardware cloth around the bottom edges & over the wooden bars and then staked those down with something - maybe not a bad idea if you get strong winds like I do.

I think this coop is too small inside for 4 regular size hens. I decided to only house 3 hens myself. Even with a larger run (which I added) I think the maximum should be 3 otherwise your hens may become stressed.

I think it will be too small. It is more suited for over a workbench or in a small patio.

I wouldn't recommend it be used for chicken. The acsess to the lower level is narrow and might be difficult for them to use. However, if your not looking to use both levels then the top half could be suitable for egg laying.

Now that is a question. Not being familiar with the constraints or requirements of a poultry house, I can't answer. If poultry house is a euphemism for chicken ranch, I don't see why not. It is a well-made, sturdy fan.

You could if you had smaller chickens in there... it is tall enough for at least one perch higher up.
