I upgraded my coop this year and insisted that my coop needed to be 10x12. My husband argued with me about it and told me the chickens didn't need a palace for themselves. I insisted that that was the required space for the number of birds I had between the different coops. Only...
I started with 6. It was a good number until I lost one to a predator, and then had one go chronically broody. I still had 2-4 eggs a day, but I didn't have many eggs to give away, so I got more birds...then more birds. And then... you know how it goes. Chicken math.
