Just wondering what would be a good size coop to build. The total area I have to use is approx 18'wide by approx 61' long (733inches to be exact) I am hoping to have a 12 bird flock at the moment though its 5 (standard size) and I am unsure what size coop to build. It will be fully contained within this space although not sure if I will have the entire coop inside the run area. The birds will also have a gate opening to our garden which will hopefully deter them from heading into the dairy shed. What would be a "comfortable" size for the birds? Thanks Nae
There's chicken math??? so is that 4square per bird or something? ....... gah I am so dense ... would that allow for even MORE birds long term?? SOrry my brain fried the minute I became a mummy
Quote:Here is an example of "chicken math": Two years ago I decided I only wanted 5 or 6 chickens for eggs . . . and today I have 52 with 21 eggs in the incubator right now. So, yeah, build as big a coop as you have money and space for - you will need it!
