Do They Count?

[salt and pepper]

Pretty much in my book it would.
BUT there are many ideas and plans that work well for folks.
I guess most people would need to know more about your set up and what your plans are in order to give better advise.

How many chickens?
Total square footage of the coop?
Run size?
Cooped up a lot due to weather?
Breeds of the chickens? (Some do not do well confined)
Food and water inside the coop or outside?
Nests inside or mounted to the outside of the coop?

This information is helpful to anyone trying to help you with answers.

thank you for all your help, and answering my questions, but I don't feel comfortable giving that information. I am a very private person.

I assume you know that the roosts need to be higher than anything you don't want them sleeping on. Chickens instinctively like to sleep as high as they can get. If your nest boxes are higher than your roosts, there is a fair chance they will sleep and poop in the nests.

Bantams take less room than large fowl, game birds need more room than cornish cross, roosts for jersey giants unless tall enough to walk under would come out of the square footage per bird, that's where the question was headed. Nothing personel, just not enough info to try and gaige your situation.
