Oh, thank you, @Yorkshire Coop
 !!  I was going crazy trying to find that thread where this was discussed!  I had the one that @Joshua2017
 had cited but the one I have been looking for specifically talked about ways to keep boredom down, how long they expected the quarantine to last, etc.  I hate it when I KNOW I've read something and then I lose it when I need it!

You are most welcome @Blooie

That's why I need the search feature. I often know I've read something somewhere but finding it is not always easy!

Ussery book is far better than the Story book IMO.....but both contain some 'mis'-information.
Some good info but not written in absolute stone.....have some grains of salt.

So, when all this mess clears up in England and the Chickens are allowed to go free range again, am I right by thinking they will need a Nice big Chicken coop to sleep in at night? if so, How much space is required per chicken in a coop, comfortably?

I have found this cheap chicken coop in the link below, for an example. How many chickens could keep in the main coop at night?

I think these are the dimensions of the main coop 143.3"(L)x68.5"(H)x66.9"(W)

Sorry for the lack of terminology
