How many chickens can live in this coop?

[wamtazlady]

Is this one of those coop kits you buy that is part coop and part run? If it is we need the size of just the coop part without the run. I had one of those coop/run things when I first started out not realizing it was way too small for more than 2.

I would only keep 2 or 3 in that coop.
My personal opinion

 

[adcockfarm]

why? its 24+ sqft

I think it looks too small. I am not an expert..I just think they need MORE room.

 

[adcockfarm]

wait... i thought it was 4sqft a bird? am i wrong?

 

[Kiki]

There is no magic number...it's about preference..IMO.

Do you think there is enough room for them to walk around and play?

Or do you think they will be cramped up close together all the time?

I just prefer they have extra room to move around..get away from each other.

Is there a roost area for them?
