So why does it say chicken coop for 10+ chickens? There are factors to consider: what chicken breeds are you getting, are you able to let them free range? We recommend taking a look at the measurements and seeing what you feel comfortable with, remembering your girls are only going to be in the hen house to roost and lay their eggs. Keep in mind the chickens share nesting boxes and stand side by side on the roosting rods! Our chicken coop kit for 10+ chickens with a run extension has flashing above the nesting box roof lids to prevent water from running into the nesting box.
