    I would like to start with 45 laying chickens and maybe 5 roosters. How big should the coop be. I have a big yard which I can always let the them run

    All the chickens would probably end up dead if you had 9 roosters per hen, at least the hens and some roosters would be.

    I think 5 rooster would be fine, as that would be 9 Hens per rooster. They would need a VERY spacious run though, like what was mentioned before. A big coop too, at least 200 square feet and A LOT of roosting space, 18’’ per bird.
