Moved from AZ to Arkansas. We have a 30 by 30 area for our chickens. About how many chickens will be comfortable in size area? We want to have enough to furnish enough eggs for 3 families who eat a lot of eggs. Also want to find grown pullets and get small ones also to start. Any advise appreciated :)

30 x 30 will hold alot of chickens, plenty to get the amount of eggs you are talking about. I would say at least 15 easily. Good luck!!
