    Chicken run bedding\litter over hardware cloth

    See what happens after a few rainstorms and compensate if needed. Even the best planned set up usually needs a few tweaks. As far as if the flock will do fine in the amount of space, maybe they'll be fine, maybe they won't - some birds may want more space for themselves. Again, just...
