Thank you for recommending that I go larger, but I will have to add on later, I am building this by myself and need to have it done before my girls start laying the oldest is 19 weeks old.
Thank you Mrs K, I was thinking of an 8' x 16' coop raised with run under it as well as an 12' x 24' run that would 416 sq ft, so this should work, again thank you for your help.
Right now I have 30 chickens ranging ages (3 days old to 19weeks): oldest 3- Buff Orpingtons 19 wks., 3 - wyanedottes 15wks., 2 - white leghorns 16 wks., 8 @ 12 weeks - 2 jersey gaints, 3 Barred rocks, and 3 black australorps; 2@8 wks. 1 lavender Orphington and 1barred rock; 4 @ 6 weeks 3 white...
I am confused about how much square feet you need to have in the coop per chicken (I heard 2 to 4 feet for each hen) then was told what ever you think you need doulde that ( so what is that). Please help
