Is 15 chickens too much?

[Cockle-Dood]

i started my flock this weekend with only 6-8 in mind and came home with 10....so what i have figured out is that as fixed as your plan is...it will still vary. they had the breeds i wanted and couldnt pass them up. Goal was 3 Barr'd rocks, and 3 Black Ausies....came home with 3 barrd rocks, 3 black ausies, 2 americauana, and 2 silkies....even though i swore i wasnt gonna get any bantams....crazy how things change! Either way, best of luck however you decide!

15 is alot of chickens and need plenty of space. Keep in mind that may soon be getting 100+ eggs per week! We easily get that and have many friends/family that want eggs. 5 is a good starting number with an average size coop and to get about 3 dozen eggs per week.
