    Question on my first coop

    I have spent the past few days building my first coop. It's 6 x 4 1/2 and about 4 1/2 ft tall at the back. If the three roosts I have planned, redlines in the pic, are about 4 feet long each, how many birds can I comfortable fit in there? I have 24 chicks arriving around April 11, but will...
