Coop 6x4

Hey guys,
How many silkies will fit into a 6x4 coop I will also be breeding in that coop thanks

6... You will need to take into account the space required for nest boxes, feed containers... etc. If you are going to be free ranging all the time, have good climates, then you could feasibly do more than that. BUT, I wouldn't, just in case there are those days that they can not be let out of the coop.

You need to consider the smaller space, so while you could a couple more in the run, they would really be too many when they go in to sleep at night.
