How many more hens can fit in this coop?

For the record, there's nothing wrong with living in the city. My gam gam lived in the city.

However I guess farmers don't know jack and should ask online chicken support groups questions more often...

I guess you're on the wrong forum. Most of us here on BYC are hobby farmers who consider our birds pets. And, no, I've never lived in the city.

I'm not saying this is you, and this is my opinion, but most farmers I know who farm for a living seem to me to place money above the welfare of the animals. This is understandable because crowding their barns, pastures, and coops is the only way they can make a profit and they can't get attached to their animals because they will eventually be butchered anyway. I tend to think they are not as tuned in to their animals and they just don't know or care how much happier and long-lived their animals could be if they gave them a bigger and cleaner place to live.
