Big enough ?

[Susanwhitten28]

My barn is huge but separated in three spaces is this area big enough for 21 chickens ? My yard is fenced in has a small run for when I’m not home but let them free roam most the time outside the run I currently have 16 but my friend wants to part with 9 bc she’s down sizing

Do you know the exact square footage? It looks good to me... I think it’s 4sq ft per bird? The only thing I would say is to add more roosts, and add a temporary separation system so you can integrate them properly.

A) what is this “down sizing” you speak of? I’m pretty sure that is not how chicken math works....
B) what are the dimensions of the areas?

Thanks, unfortunately he lost his comb tips due to frostbite so he is a little less majestic now, and just the other day he decided to chase my cousin’s kid...so his days may be numbered if he continues that behavior.

She found a dozen other chicks to add to her flock. The downsizing is just to make room for them.
and yes, your coop sounds big enough for a few additions.
