Adding More Chickens

[Cattle dog Mom]

In space of 91 sq ft (7ft by 13 ft) how many chicken can i have? planning to build a coop from 3 cattle panel. Thankyou.

Is that RUN space? Coop AND run? If it is run space only, most people would say not more than 9 large foul. If there is going to be a "hen house" in there also taking up space, then less.

The actual measurements are 10’3”x22’3”

Those proportions(WxL) don't seem quite right.
But pic doesn't show the whole run.
Plus that tiny coop makes your run look HUGE

It really is that big though! The coop is tiny, I hate it, but bare with me here it’s not possible to get a new one (but in the even I got more chickens I WOULD get a larger one)
Take out the dimensions of the skirt and you lose maybe 9 inches or so. But that still doesn’t change it so drastically.

I don’t know why exactly, but that picture I chose makes it look tiny.

Also my chickens were tiny, so it makes the run look small in comparison to them.

Please understand @aart that I purchased the coop before I was educated on chicken’s space requirements.... it is advertised to hold up to 15 chickens, and I believed it thanks to my lack of realization on the matter.

Im getting ducks right now, and I’ll be buying or building them a large coop. I am trying to buy them chickens their own big coop at the same time, but as I’m not quite an adult, I don’t have that much money and my parents would have to pitch in, and because they aren’t aware of how important space is, they don’t find it important, therefore don’t want to spend on it. I’m gratefull for the large run I have though, and I’m just glad they have space outside of the coop.

Well, don't get any more birds until after you have a larger coop.

Oh I wouldn’t even consider adding more chickens to a coop that small.
