Hello everyone, I'm Rabohwa from Centurion in South Africa and would like to try to keep some chickens for organic eggs and meat just for the family. We live on a plot and there is enough space for about 40 - 50 chickens.
I would like to start with 45 laying chickens and maybe 5 roosters. How big should the coop be. I have partitioned the yard and there is at least 4 000 sq.m they can always run in. The coop is mainly to keep the predators away at night and for laying booths.
