In the Brooder
So I have a how much room question. We build a coop which is raised off the ground which is 5' by 6'. The ramp runs down to an enclosure which is about 6' by 14'. I have an automatic pop door which opens in the morning and the hens leave the coop and enclosure to free range in about 3 to 5 acres of pasture which has a few manzanitas on it. I have 12 hens and one rooster. I would like to get 2 or 3 more hens. Do I have enough room in the coop? They only spend the hours of darkness inside the coop itself however wander in and out of the enclosure during the day to lay eggs and hit the feeder. Any thoughts on this would be great.
