How big of a coop should I do for 40 meat chickens? Would a tractor set up be better or a coop that would be stationary?
 
Meat chickens don't need as much space as normal chickens. So about two to three square feet per chicken is sufficient. So two tractor coops 7 feet by 8 feet would be good. Of course I've never kept meat chickens but a lot of people I talk to say that they prefer to keep them in tractor coops.

Thanks! I would think tractors would help to keep them clean and in fresh air, I do have a handy spot in a shed that would serve well as a coop. But I like tractor idea just as well!!!
Thank you for measurements that is what I really needed!
