Dog run big enough for 16 birds? (14 chickens, 2 ducks)

Quote:
3-5 ft. is fine for the housing part of the coop (although most folks on BYC strive for at least 4 sq. ft of housing). Could that have been what the feed store person was talking about??? And if they're only inside the pen at night, then that space would be plenty. But as mentioned, you would need to make sure the dog run was securely covered in wire, since most night time predators would/could climb a 6 ft. dog run in under a minute.

It is roofed. And I will cover it in hardware mesh as suggested by a few posters.
