I hear ya on the 6 boxes but hey, maybe they will like more options. Too late now. I've read the 4 sq/ft suggestion. That just seems like a lot of space. Do chickens typically hang out on the coop floor or is it more for nesting and roosting?
Hey everyone. First time keeping chickens. Coop floor is 8x4. How many chickens would you guys put in this with 6 boxes? The run is only 10x8 but I will probably double it. I'm new at this but thinking options are
- Dozen birds when confined to the 10x8 run
- 20 birds if free range and 6 box...
