I only have 4 so I can't help with set up.
The general rule of thumb is 4 sf per bird in the coop. 10 sf per bird in the run.
You can get by with less if they are free ranged.

Congrats on getting more chickens

you need a minimum of 10x12 . if they are in alot for winter go alot bigger..

I'd browse the coops pages...the ones listed as large. You're sure to get a lot of ideas.

You are in Wyoming? Local owners can advise on square footage and run requirements. We're in a winter zone so we have a min of 15 sq ft per bird inside and more outside. Your winters are likely savage though drier than ours. My hens are indoors this week, bitter and windy here, Arctic high over us. The flock is doing well, running scratching and jumping indoors without hostility.
