Hello Everyone,
I just got my first chickens a few months ago and am trying to figure out how much space they need. I am in WI so the winters are nasty. Right now I have a 3 by 9.5 foot covered outdoor run. I'd like to have the coop and an indoor run inside the garage but am wondering how big I should make it?
I have 4 bantams but 2 are fairly young so if any end up being roos I will have between 2 or 4.
The outdoor run is in a protected area and covered so I hope they will still use it for part of the winter.
What would you recommend size wise for a coop and indoor run area? Thanks for any and all advice!
Here is a picture of the outdoor run.
