Hi All
I am new to keeping chickens and would like some advise, I have been reading a lot on the site but just wanted to run everything by you all before I get then hens.
Coop
My coop is 4ft x 4th x 4th
Nest Box - I have 2 nest boxes attached to the side of the coop, 18h x 15w x15d
Roost - I have 2 roosts which are 4ft long each, I have used 2x2 and the are 18 inch off the floor. Gap between the roosts and the wall is 12 inches
Run
The run is 4ft by 13ft
I am planning to get 6 hens, is the coop and run big enough for this amount of hens or how many would be a good number for these dimensions
My space is limited and cannot make a bigger run or coop
I will let the hens out of the run for a couple of hours a day
Thanks
MZ
