My first omelet was probably $1000I never thought a $200 coop originally going into this and a few chickens would turn into a $3,500 project.

that sounds very tight to me. almost like a factory farm. I have 10 birds with a 15x75 run and it's probably about maxed out. They are rather bored from the lack of roaming space. They runs to the gate every time I let them into the front yard.Well, you'd have enough coop space for 30-40 chickens if I'm correct, and you might want a 10x35 run. The 10x30 run could hold up to 37ish chickens, once again, if I'm correct.
Hah! You must have gotten everything on sale! I'm afraid to total mine up. LOLMy first omelet was probably $1000

In my opinion, always go bigger with that coop!! You plan & plan, all the while forgetting that a) the Creator is chuckling, b) that the 'Chicken Math thing' you've heard about IS REAL & c) that you'll actually be saving yourself some future work//aggro.I got chickens this year right at the end of spring.
It was a trial and I bought used pre fab 4x8 coop-sleeping area is 4x4
attached is a 10x10 run covered with tarps and it just looks tacky and I want to do it up nice. Turns out we love chickens and the eggs they produce. So we’re looking for a more permanent option.
I am looking to purchase a shed(new) and convert it into a coop. I walked into an 8x8 and thought wow this is big but I feel like it’ll fill up fast.
ideally I’d like a 10x12 I have all the room I need to put it where ever I want. Either set up I’m thinking about a 10x20 or a 10x30 run. Obviously for simplicity the 10x12 shed would work best.
I am looking to Go from my 13 chickens now to roughly 30-40 chickens. What do you guys think I should do?
Lots of different ways to do it.I have been reading online on how to attach the hardware cloth to the run. I have seen people use screws with big washers, but I feel like that’ll get expensive fast-but probably the best way to secure it. Luckily(knock on wood) I haven’t had any issues with anything trying to get inside the coop yet.
and I have seen people using staples like these

would those work well? Or should I do the screw and washer method?
