Chicken coop size

[tracie13126]

I recently bought 30 baby chicks and have 16 more coming trying to figure out how big of a coop do I need to make I originally planed on an 8x10 coop and most likely that is too small so would a 10x10 be big enough for 48 chickens? I have 2 adult chickens that will be going in the coop with the other 46... I need to figure this out due to I need to start building a coop within the next few weeks due to their gonna be out growing where i have them as of right now. Please help..

Nope. You need a coop at least 12'x14'.
That's a lot of chickens!
