Coop size for 14 Layers?

[BoJackmoonshinesprinklers]

14x4=56 sf minimum coop needed... 7'x8' would work...
14x10=140 sf min run needed... 10x14... 8x17.5... etc.
12" per bird roost space so run 2 2x2s (or 2x4s) across the 7' side and you're good.
Just make sure there's a good 6" (or more) between the two roosts both vertically and horizontally so no one gets poo on their head.
And make sure the furthest back is at least 6" (12" better) from the wall or you get a really icky mess.
Nest wise most seem okay with one nest per four birds, least mine are, so for 14 I'd go ahead and do four.
Make sure the nests are lower than the roosts.

And that about sums up my random tidbits of knowledge. Hope it helps.

I like your professionalism and I’m equally impressed with everything else you deliver ..thanks for making my project simple, direct and less stressful….. I wonder what an afternoon with pineapple moma is like…I’m imagining there’s no worries during that afternoon… thanks and have a great day…
