Coop sizes for cochin bantams

[cochinbantam-lover]

Hi again,
Well I measured my coop and it is 16 ft 8 in X 13 ft 10 in now how many of the cochin bantams can I have in there in your opinions? They will be outside quite a bit except for when it's stormy or too cold. All thoughts welcome!!
Thanks so much!!

At 4 square feet per bird you can have up to 52, but more square feet is always better, so keep it around 40 MAX.

Why didn't you post this in the other thread?

The 4 sq ft rule is for standard size birds. If they are indeed bantams you could up that number.

Thanks much! I think I will be having about 50 of the little stinkers!
