FAQs
Quick answers for Italian backyard keepers.
How many hens can my coop handle?
+
As a rule of thumb: 0.35–0.5 m² run space per layer (less for bantams), one nest per 3–4 hens, and 20–25 cm perch per bird.
Is assembly beginner-friendly?
+
Yes—plan 2–3 hours, lay out hardware first, and pre-drill where wood is dense. Two people make it smoother.
What’s the #1 predator-proofing step?
+
16-gauge hardware cloth + buried/pegged skirt around the run, plus reliable locks on every door.
Do you offer personalized advice?
+
Absolutely. Share your yard size, sun/wind exposure, and flock plan—we’ll send a tailored checklist and layout tips.
