The coop we have built has an inside size of 3.5'x 6' and 5' tall. It is built inside a 15'x15' chain link dog run lined with chicken fencing. My question is, How many chickens is a good number for this space? They will also be let out occasionally to roam the 1/2 acre back yard. Thanks in advance...
Like Kathyinmo said. And the 4 sq ft/chook is a minimum. In cold climates or very wet climates, is better if more space due to them being inside so much of the time. I did 5 sq ft/chook for mine. I did 80 sq ft / chook for their run.
