How many chickens can i fit in here?

[GoldpartridgeHen]

Hi all!

I am planning to raise a number of different chickens, and these are some of them: Jersey Giant, Bielefelder, Welsummer, Welbar, Buff Sussex, and maybe 1 or 2 more

I am not sure whether to extend the run or not. Can anyone help and tell me how many chickens i can fit in my run?

Thanks!

I'd say about 10, maybe like 3 more than 10....

OK, interesting. I was aiming for about 8, so that will suit me!
I forgot to mention the egg box has two compartments. Do you think 10 chickens will be happy to share 2 egg compartments between them?

Thanks!

Most likely, my 33 hens all share the same three! I like the breeds you chose, if you need a rooster, I have 5 extra.

No don't worry. I'm not looking for a rooster, sorry
i'm not really a breeder, i keep hens for both eggs and personalities

Lol! I've been trying to sell them off for a while! Don't forget to post pics when you get them!

Sorry about your roosters, most people have trouble selling these 'sweet' and 'adorable' little cocks but no-one seems to want them!

I know, the breeds I have for sale is a Silkie (hatchery quality), Rhode Island Red, and Black Star.

Sorry. I'm the party pooper. I wouldn't put more than 3 birds in a coop that size, especially if one of them is a JG. It's just not that big.
And I would make the run larger, even if you plan to let them out of it regularly. Again, it really isn't that big.
Some of your dimensions are missing but I'm guessing at about 29 sq feet max in the run.

I'm with them^^^ not party poopers but realists who think before they post

1m x 1.3m = 3' x 4'
