Alysha Whitfield | Bee Jeweled Coop on Instagram: "Navigating the space needs for backyard chickens, especially for those in suburbs or cities! 🏡🐓

My 4x8ft coop serves as a comfy home for my flock and houses up to 12 chickens (but could hold more!) It’s not just about square footage. Consider roosting space (10-12” per chicken) and nesting boxes (1 for every 3-4 chickens).

But here’s the thing: RUN SPACE is crucial and often overlooked. Cramped pre-made coops can lead to unhappy and unhealthy chickens. 

Give your chickens at least 10 sq ft each in their run. Opt for a secure, covered run to keep them safe from predators and the elements. 

Ensuring these minimum space requirement is key to happy chickens (and neighbors)! 🌿🏠

These are the things I think are most important to keep in mind when building (or even buying) a chicken coop or chicken tractor! I hear a lot of questions about heat and cold weather, and excluding extreme temps (though we do get extreme heat here), I think ventilation is a much higher priority. Everyone's climate is different, but that's just my take! 

Also, 5 gallon buckets for nesting boxes are still so epic to me...and cheap! 😍🐓

Alysha Whitfield | Bee Jeweled Coop on Instagram: "🏠🐓 Here is the video you all have been asking for! It’s finally time for an official COOP TOUR.  As a busy mom with multiple careers, our coop has always been a work in progress. It’s taken 2 years to finish all the little details in the coop (like the wallpaper!) which is why it’s taken so long for me to put this together! All good things come with time.   Now, here we are! I’m highlighting all the cool features in our coop, accessories that make chicken-keeping easier, and touring the outdoor fenced setup as well.  This coop is where our Bee Jeweled Coop journey started. Sharing this journey of mine, connecting with all of you, and my desire to help people made me realize that we could support so many people in their own chicken-keepin Chicken Coop Next To Garden, Chicken Coop Side Of House, Chicken Coop Videos, Chicken Coop Border, How To Decorate A Chicken Coop, Chicken Coop Dust Bath Ideas, Chicken Coop 4 Chickens, Chicken Coop Accessories Ideas, Chicken Coop And Garden Ideas
