Hubby has given the ok for a new coop and more chickens next spring. I'm wanting to keep about 21 in total. I'm looking for suggestions on size of coop.

Go big, then bigger so you can split space off a space for new birds(and other uses) and another for supply storage space.Hubby has given the ok for a new coop and more chickens next spring. I'm wanting to keep about 21 in total. I'm looking for suggestions on size of coop.

Quote: Ditto Dat^^ ......if you want to keep 20 over winters build for 40.
My 6x16' coop (with an extra 30sqft of roost boards) holds 15 very nicely over the winter....but the 30 I have during spring/summer gets tight,
thank goodness my run is huge and there's another smaller run too that's closed off once the snow starts piling up.
