I have a two car garage about 20'x20' and a shed about 8'x8' on my property. I am toying with the idea of converting both into coops, fencing in about a 100'x60' area of my yard and buying about 250 chickens. I have a few questions, would this be enough room for that many chickens? How high up can I build my nesting boxes and the chickens still use them? The ceilings are about 8' high in both the garage and the shed. With fencing in that large of an area how high do you recommend I make the fence? What are opinions on clipping wings rather than building a really high fence? I'm sure as I think more I will have more questions; however, if anyone has any thoughts or opinions are advice for anything I haven't thought of yet please let me know. All information will be greatly appreciated. I have already been in contact with different small stores and restaurants, I am hoping to produce about 100-140 dozen eggs per week to start.
