Can an adult chicken fit UNDER the house? What are the dimensions for that under house crawl space

It's about 10 inches high. We had a mother hen and babies under there last summer.

I have lots of chickens myself and this is not designed for them. Do not recommend it. It's perfect for rabbits though

A small to medium chicken can get under it and lay there in the shade. A full size chicke can squeeze through to get to the other side, but not standing up straight.

No, they cannot really fit under it and there isn't much room inside for adult chickens either. After I bought it my neighbor told me it was really for chicks not full grown hens. I plan to build something bigger. Hens like to perch a couple of feet off the ground.

yes it has an eight in clearance under the floor shade and shelter i use mine as a rabbit coupe and they love the floor out to jump up and down

I WOULD NOT recommend this product. it is poorly made and material is so thin and flimsy. you would do better to build something on your own. I have had to replace materials on this product and I kept it covered with a tarp and it still fell apart. under the house isn't enough room for a chicken this is more suited for a rabbit\

I had an injured hen and her healthy friend (for companionship) placed in this coop/pen and they crawled under the house and laid there in the shade. They can fit and they will lay down there, but they can't stand fully upright. My two were an Easter Egger/Ameraucana and a Cochin if that helps.

Yes, 4 Sussex chickens will fit in the coop mentioned. An approximate size per hen is roughly 2 sq. ft. as long as sufficient outdoor access is provided (yard or enclosed pen). This coop is designed to be a laying and protection area overnight only; not a total living space (no light, outdoors). Caution on this coop toward security as the coop door shuts by gravity. An additional closed latch or board to keep door closed from predator inquires is suggested at the entrance.

I'm not positive, but I think about 2 inches. I wouldn't think it's enough room for cats to crawl under but they can be quite nimble! I would be afraid they would knock it over if they were able to crawl under it. Hope that helps.

not sure, but there are chickadees entering my house...the house sparrows here in Colorado have slightly broader shoulders so might not be able to get in....sorry not to be more definitive, but the chickadees and red head finches fit....

The dimensions, 24.5 X 21 X 53.5, are correct. Not terribly large and there is no floor. I would recommend measuring this out on the floor to get a good visual. Not knowing what you are planning on keeping I would advise that it's only large enough, IMO, for one rabbit or maybe a couple of very small chickens...bantams ie. Any live animal kept in this should have periods of time in a larger open pen for outside exercise. Hope this helps. PS...My Chihuahua LOVES to sleep in this. ;-)

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.

It is very large inside I'm not sure about the dimensions, but large enough to cook a large chicken.

I would not house more than 4 full size chickens in this or 6 bantams. You can fit 6 full size birds but they may be a little crowded and keeping it clean would be a chore.

It may depend on what size the entire chicken is - otherwise, my suggestion is to cut a whole chicken into pieces to fit into the pan! Good luck!

the two story section is 40" tall.. x 55" wide (this includes the outside enclosure. These measurements are for the cage itself (the food storage bins are not included) To me it is very small. I have a large rabbit. and this cage is way toooo small for her. My 2 small guinea pigs fit better in it but do not use it due to the metal floors on the inside housing section. It now sits in my backyard being unused. Darn it!! since it cost quit a bit.

Yes, if they're relatively small. Any chickens bigger than 3.25 lbs might fit if they are cut into pieces.

Hi, As for the food dishes there is a bar just above the food dish that when the door to the dish is closed won't allow the bowl to be pulled out. As for the gage of steel I haven't measure it, it appears to be at best guess .150 size which I thought was not as thick as it should have been for the size of bird I was putting in the cage. With that said anything thicker would have made the weight to much to move around and since I do have a Macaw in mine it has work very well. He has room to play and I can still move to clean around it. I hope this helps

it is about 4 feet by 6 feet long...because i needed to kneel to get in the door my son buildt a table so it is 3 feet off the ground...i bought it for a little quail that we rescued...would be a little small for chickens unless you only had 1 or 2 and they were tiny...i have been very happy for my little bird...

No! Okay, maybe a very small, store bought chicken. I bought this to cook home processed chickens after reading only the answer about the turkey. But I can't even fit the legs in without separating thigh and drumstick. Not even close to fitting the chicken whole.

If the chicken is sitting directly on top of of the cover/heater, it will work well. My outside strays love it as I put it inside a 26 gallon storage bin!

It's really small. My mini lop fits but he never stays in it. It would be cramped for 2 dwarves. It's more of a playspace or room than a hutch or cage. I would never recommended for uses like a house or something the confine anything in.

You probably could...it's not as big as it seems in the photos. We have R.I. Reds, and 2 full-grown chickens in there at once is a full house pretty much.
