kinda have to disagree with those numbers mate...currently i got 32 in that coop ... so you saying i should have 128 sq ft of floor space .. 10 feet by 12.8 feet ..(or 3 meters by 4 meters ...that's the size of a bedroom) ... in the current coop ...they don't even use half of the loft space...
i'm presuming those numbers are for chickens that aren't free ranged or let out ...hell i'd give them a lot more space then! ps bear in mind ... my coops door is never closed ...
hi ..welcome.. my one coop is a 2 by 3 meter but has a second story/loft area which only measures 1 by 1.5 meters ...in total a lot of space in there... but at night i've had up to 72 chickens get into the loft comfortably ...(loft area in feet = 3 feet by about 4.5 feet) ... they got room down...
