with over 20 birds, you probably need a little more roosting room...

I think you will be on the high end of capacity.

chickens need 4 1/2 feet of floor space per bird

Do you have the camper gutted out for the birds??? if it's the same type I am thinking of, there really is alot of room in those, but it might be beneficial to add on more room if you can...

If they have an outside run too that would help(can't remember what I read already in the first post)...
I know I caught somethign about free ranging, but don't remember if you said you also had a run connected to the camper/house/coop or not...

How big is it? If its the size of a truck bed then I would think your way over the limit.

the over cab bed is like a floor to the ones in thear perches run from door to bed and two from cabinet to cabinet cross way is this still not enough and thanks for advice every one

 

[samandmike]

Have you ever visited an egg farm that uses battery cages? 4.5 sq ft is nice, but not a need.
