Hi everyone! I have been reading like crazy to try to get everything right for my first coop/run. I have 8 five week old chicks (2 Cochins, 2 Brahmas, 2 Buckeyes and 2 Bantams) living in my garage that need to go outside very soon. I have built an enclosed run 12'x8' with an elevated coop inside. A friend who has some experience came to help with building and design and built the coop 8'x2'. I am a little concerned the coop is too small. We plan to fence a large portion of our yard outside the run where we can let them roam during the day, so I'm not concerned about total space per bird, just the coop. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm also struggling with how to place the roost. I can post pictures if that might help. Thank you so much in advance for any words of wisdom.
