I have 10 chickens, babys now, but will have 10 hens...Do you think a 4x8 coop and 10x10 run is large enough? I live in florida, should I insulate it?
We are going to have 12 hens and 1 rooster and we are building an 8x8. Our run is going to be 8x16. I thought we were building a bit small for the 13. Hopefully someone with more experience will reply to this link.
Welcome to BYC!!! Quote:The "generally accepted" coop size is 4 sq feet for the coop and 10 sq feet of run per chicken. Using that math, you have a coop large enough for 8 chickens and a run large enough for 10 chickens. Good Luck!!
