How many chickens?

[Chuckin]

We have 11 chickens in a coop/run (there is a coop and a run enclosure around it) that is 80 square feet. how many chickens could we fit in there if we wanted to get more?

What are the dimensions separately? You're at maximum capacity already if just your run is 80sq feet.

From what I was told, 3 to 4 sq. ft. per chicken in a coop. 10 sq. ft. per chicken in a run if not free ranged.

That's a good starting point and what I recommend.

Your climate will matter as much as the measurements. Please add your general location to your profile so that better/more targeted advice can be given.

What do you use the run area for then?

If it’s a cool then you could fit 20 max if you follow the rule of thumb of 4 square feet per bird coop space.
