Thanks Sara. I have 6 beautiful Buff Orpingtons. We are at our limit in our coop. Actually 2 birds too many, but since they free range from dawn till dusk and only go into their coop to lay an egg and sleep, they don't have an issue with it. The rule of thumb is 4sq. ft. per bird inside the coop and 10 sq. ft. per bird in the run. I wish I had a bigger coop, but grateful for the one we have!You have a beautiful family. And I love your coop! How many birds fit in there?
I have to quickly redesign my coop plans due to serious unforeseen car trouble that is about to rob my coop budget.
Also. Swimming chickens!Awesome!
