Would this work for a chicken living in a hutch outside during winter?

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!

I would not use this for a dog. It is really best used for a few rabbits or birds, such as small chickens. The area under the coop is very low. You will probably find something more appropriate for your dog a on the net, just look around for small dog shelters with run. Good luck.

I own chickens and I wouldn't even put one in it because it would be too tight for them, the opening of the nesting area is small and it has no bar for them to roost on. This works for 1 rabbit, 2 guinea pigs or 2 dwarf rabbits.

Sure you can, mine is all the time outside, I have to put up with the birds dropping time to time, otherwise is o.k. I will store in my shed for winter.

Very easy to assemble. Yes 4 hens would be fine but in the winter place a heat lamp in it because there is no insulation. I propped it up on bricks as well and packed hay under it so it would keep them warm in the winter. Also so the wood wouldn't rot. It's a great coop! I would buy it again. I place hay in the inside and they love the perch. Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy!

Have not tried it outside of the coop. Not sure how it will work outside if it get very cold.

I have used this for my bird when she has been sick, I put a under a blanket then set her cage on it and cover her cage with blankets to keep the heat in. I think it should work fine!

I wouldn't think so. There are three metal plates on the floor of the trap. The chicken would have to get across two of them to receive a shock. It would have to really stretch to do that.

Yes, we use it all winter for rabbits outside who are cozy even during these polar vortexes. We put the heater on the bottom and then stuff their room with hay. They make a warm home. And iI fits perfectly into standard hutches.

I don't see why not. You just buy another run and do not screw in the end piece. I have three chickens and I let them free range. They only go in their coop at night or to lay. Barely spending any time in the run. I think three chickens is too much for a run that size. It is not too much space at all.

Probably would not help insulate it, but a fleece blanket inside would be good and it's washable. Also, I had to screw the top to the bottom because we have high winds in my area but it was easy to do. I really like it for my cat who insists on being outdoors even in colder weather.

To be honest I don't know. It has been well below -30 degrees here for weeks at a time and the bird bath still worked although the birds were in no mood to bathe then. :) I keep my bird bath close to the house and out of the wind so maybe that helps? Also make sure you have the proper power cord with it. Good luck!!

Even though this hutch is made for the outdoors, it does not regulate temperature at a safe enough level for the rabbit during hot weather.I would assume using this hutch outside in Miami would be very dangerous considering the fact that rabbits do not tolerate heat very well and can die from this type of condition

Depends on what you use it for. If you are just keeping your outdoor chickens in for the night then it will probably be OK. otherwise it will be too small. They won't have much room to move around. The coop is a lot smaller than it appears in the picture. Hope this helps.

This particular birdhouse is def built more for indoor decor and not function in my opinion. It would deteriorate quickly in bad weather. If you choose to use it outside it looks like it'd be appropriate for small birds, like a finch

I don't think so. It would be too small. This is made for more of a regular chicken or Cornish game hen.

I have it in the shed right now,to protect it from Indiana.s cold winter. It is a lovely and good size bird bath. Not good with dimensions.
