How many birds is too much?

[TheMayor14]

I have 13 hens in a 50×40 pen. Is that enough space?

Hi,

The dimensions you gave (50x40) is that in feet? And when you say you have your chickens in a pen, is that a coop or a run?

Some clarification would be helpful.

Thanks.

It's in feet. And it's a run

Hahaha, that gives each bird around 153 sq ft each... The average is ten, you're golden!

Okay thank you

My run is just 6' fencing with bird net over the top making the top about 9' high
