Thanks for the info on my idea for the coop being way to small for that amount of birds. I would really like to stay with 200 or so chickens so my next question would be if I make the coop 20' x 26' or so, and my outside run can be as big as it needs to be. Then I guess the next thing I'll get...
Hey Folks, I'm new to this chicken stuff and am thinking about 200 Reds is where I'd like to start and stay. I need some advise on coop and run size. I'm looking at a coop that's 16' x 10' with sealing height at about 6'. I plan on having approx 72 nesting boxes and about 56' total of roosting...
