New in Central Arkansas

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 

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!!

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
