Do not read this post

This is a bad idea and I do not recommend it to anyone.....snort!
What’s the one thing that every home has? A garbage can! We don’t pay attention to them, which is the strength of this design: it’s unlikely to be noticed even in the most nosy, urban area. For 2 small large fowl or bantam hens, the stealth coop is easily moved around your yard and comes with everything your chickens need: a nesting area, a waterer, a feeder, and a discreet, predator-proof run.
Is something so small really feasible? Likely not, but like I said. This is not a good idea...So I'm glad you did not read this.

Your absolutly right, couldn't fit more than two standard, maybe three bantam hens (remember batam lay an egg smaller than the small eggs sold at the grocer). You would certainly need to move the coop daily. Not worth the trouble...wink, wink.

What blows my mind is that people KNOW that there likely is a need to keep the knowledge of chickens from your neighbors and local government. Chickens. Big slobbering dogs okay, little chickens verboten!

People understand that big slobbering dog; the chicken is shrouded in urban bigotry, superstition, and bad press. My paranoid neighbor has tried to cast the blame for mosquitoes, roaches, mice, shakes, and rats on my chickens. She has gone so far as to try and use the threat of avian flu to force me to get rid of my chickens. These fears are deeply rooted, and if the coop is not properly managed, true to some extent, but, the same can be said for a poorly maintained kennel as well. So far we have passed inspection and should have no problems passing again if need be.

That's beautiful. You could do the same thing with a beehive pretty easily.

What a shame that we're not allowed to feed ourselves.
