Hey guys....my daughter and I worked on our new Coop and run this weekend....maybe 2 weeks out before we are ready for chickens.....my question is I am doing a coop in a barn bay(10 x 10) and (inclosing with tin) and then making a run of 15 x 10 out into the yard(just grass)....with 4 nesting boxes........sound about right?....I hear 3 or 4 hens per nesting box....so that would mean I could do a dozen or so hens....but is that too many for the size of the area?
we just finished out doorways this weekend.....so we are WAY early in this if we need to change design plans!
thanks for any input
