How Big Does A Chicken Coop Need To Be?
If you are wondering how big your chicken coop for 8 chickens should be, an easy way to calculate the proper size for your coop is to assume each chicken requires about 4 square feet of space.
There are coops available with a run attached. A run is generally some type of closed-in outdoor area where your chickens can peck and scratch and dust-bathe. We offer a chicken coop and run so your chicken is not stuck inside the coop all day.
The most important thing to keep in mind when buying a chicken coop is the well-being and happiness of your chickens. Make sure your coop gives them ample room to move around and remember that you’d rather go “too large” than too small when it comes to chicken coops.
What Style of Coop Should I Choose for 8 Chickens?
If you are having trouble deciding what chicken coop for 8 chickens is the right choice for your flock, then we have some pointers for you.
Here are some things to consider when choosing your style of chicken coop for 8 chickens…
Size – Do you have enough of space in your backyard (or wherever you plan to put the coop) for a large enough coop? Can you maintain 8 chickens and keep them healthy?
Security – If any type of storm arises, is your coop going to be secure? Are your chickens going to risk getting wet or sick, and thus be prone to disease? (It is also a good idea to consider the chicken breed you choose as some breeds are not as hearty). Are your chickens going to be safe from predators in your coop, or could a raccoon easily break in the door or climb in a window?
Climate – Lastly, it is smart to consider the insulation of the coop. Are your chickens going to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer? You can often add some features to your coop to make it more climate-friendly.
