Last year I had 32 hens. I had a 12x12 coop attached to a 12x12 run. I let them out every day to free range on our 19 acres. They did great. They started slowly getting killed off. I ended up with 8 and sold them cause I thought the fox was gonna kill them all. I caught my dog with one in his mouth. Turns out he killed them all when we weren't here. My wife wouldn't let me dispose of the bad pet. So he is still here. If I let them free range on days while I am outside how many chickens can I have. I have extended the run to a 14x24 and the coop is 12x12 with 6, 8 foot roosting poles and 12 nesting boxes that are a foot by a foot. I went and bought 1 rooster and 15 hens. Will they do okay in that space? They are buffs, barred rocks, reds, aracuanas, ISA browns, and black sexlink. The rooster is a red.
Thanks!!!
