how many hens can fit?

[Orpington-Lover]

Hello everyone, I bought and built this coop recently, I'm attaching an extra 7.2 feet chicken run to it so it will be about 14.8 feet long. How many standard hens can fit in this coop, I was thinking of just getting 2 or 3 hens since I live in the suburbs...thanks!
The dimensions of the coop/run itself without the extra run I'm attaching are below.

• Height: 56.25"
• Width: 37.5"
• Length: 91.25"

What is the square footage inside the coop, not counting the nests? And how long is the roosting perch?

4-6 depending on roost size and How many Nesting boxes (has to be at least 2)

Without know just the coop dimensions not including the nesting boxes, I would say 2-3 until we know what those measurements are.
3 would be better if they would fit just to plan for if you lose one, the one remaining wouldn’t be left by itself.

3 is a little too small they would be lonely just the 3

Thank you for the help everyone, i'm out for the day right now. I should be able to measure the coop itself and the nest boxes once I come home. But to answer HBO's question now, there are two nest boxes and one perch in the coop itself.

That sounds like it could fit 4-5 also if you get a chance post pics of the inside so we can see how much room

I'd put three hens at the most in there (including the run attachment you are planning on building). Any more an you will have cramped, unhappy hens. Don't forget food and water will take up run space.

I think 3 is fine! 2 is cutting it close, but I know some people on here have only 3 chickens, and they're not lonely at all.
