Compact chicken coop for 3 chickens – ideal for beginners
The Chicken coop Mini 3 is specifically designed for those starting with poultry or those with limited garden space. With dimensions of just 128 × 62 × 108 cm, this coop fits almost anywhere: in a garden corner, along a side wall, or even on a large terrace.
The coop comfortably houses 3 chickens, the number most hobbyists recommend as a starter flock: enough to ensure fresh eggs daily (with laying hens) or to support social behavior in ornamental chickens, without the group becoming too large to manage.
Suitable for laying and ornamental chickens
- For laying hens: three productive laying breeds together provide 2 to 3 eggs per day: ideal for a family. The two nesting boxes are accessible via a folding side hatch, so you can collect eggs without entering the coop. Ideal for laying hens like Isa Brown, Harco, Sussex, Bleu de Lande, etc.
- For ornamental chickens: bantam breeds such as the Dutch Booted Bantam or Uccle Bearded Bantam fit perfectly in this compact coop. The calm gray-and-white design makes the colors of your ornamental chickens stand out beautifully.
Modern gray-and-white design
While the Maxi 12 and Midi 8 focus on natural wood tones, the Mini 3 features a modern gray-and-white color palette. A deliberate choice: this coop fits seamlessly into contemporary gardens with concrete terraces, gray tiles, or sleek landscaping. The white corner posts and window frames give the coop a polished, almost country-Scandinavian look.
Smart layout, despite the compact size
- 2 nesting boxes on the side, accessible via a folding hatch for easy egg collection
- 1 perch inside, sufficient for 3 chickens in one resting spot
- Ventilation window with fine mesh and a lockable wooden hatch, protecting against foxes and martens as well as winter drafts
- Sturdy ramp with anti-slip ridges for safe entry and exit
- Elevated construction on legs keeps the coop dry and makes access harder for rats
Flat-pack kit with clear manual
The Chicken coop Mini 3 is delivered as a flat-pack kit with assembly instructions. Due to its smaller size, assembly is typically faster than with larger models: expect one to one and a half hours with basic tools. Added bonus: the packaged coop fits in most passenger cars, so no trailer is needed for pickup.
Robust wood for years of use
The woodwork is pre-treated and finished in gray and white to withstand our climate. For maximum lifespan, we recommend touching up the finish every 2 to 3 years with a clear or matching stain.
