Hey all

[Catthryn]

Hi I’m a newbie,
My son (grown up not a small child!) got chickens for his birthday in April we currently have 4,
Would like to ask the question about how many we can have in our new coop and run he is building!,
The coop is a new shed
8x4 and the run is 8x8
They free range a couple of times a week, how many more could we add? Thanks peeps c
