How many square ft for each chicken?

I have 18 hens in a 8 x 10 coop with the pop door open year around to go out to an 8 x 22 run. Is that enough room for the girls?

That's just about perfect! The reccommended space inside the coop is 4 sq ft per bird and I believe it's 10 sq ft per bird for the run (not 100% on that though).

Oh good...I really didnt want to cancel my order. I have 2 blue cochin pullets and 2 more ameraucana aka EE pullets on the way. Im so glad there is room for the new girs.
