how many

[swift4me]

I know this is asked alot, but I am not sure of the numbers when I look at other posts.

I have a stone coop that is 50 square feet, and an atached run that is 250 sq feet. When I'm around, they get to free range around the pasture (5 acres). If I am gone for the weekend or 3 days, the coop door stays open and they have plenty of food and water.

I presently have 6 hens and 2 roosters.

Can I add two more hens?

Thanks,

Pete

I am gonna say yes. I never measure it out. The 4 square feet per bird plus 10 square feet of run space per bird is just a guideline. I look at my birds and ask myself if they look like they have enough room and are they happy? It sounds like you have plenty of space for 10 birds.
