So one half can hold 20? Or one half can hold 10? Because I think it's a bit of a waste of materials to build big enough for 20 birds when your run can only hold 10.

The run will be able hold more then 10 birds.

Sounds like a pretty small run to me though. Can you google earth map it out to show us?

I don't have Google earth on my phone.

Ok.

Technically it'll be a waste of materials to build a mansion for 3 chickens.

Agreed! I built mine bigger because I plan on getting more.

I figured that 10x10=100sqft=10 birds, if you go by 10 square feet per bird.

This one is like 12ft X 14ft I think?

I'll just have to keep brainstorming. And keep figuring things out as I go.

I can see 18 birds in there, so 163/18 is 9.333....pretty close to 10 square feet per bird. I suppose the 10x10 could fit like 13 birds if you push it.

Here’s a 10x10 Omelet run compared to my run which only fits 7 chickens. Are you sure 10x10 fits 10 chickens?!?
