Is my coup big enough?

[Fowl_language]

I have a coup 5m x 6m so 30m squared.. I think its about 275 square feet, is that big enough for 6 chooks?

Cheers!

My math actually says its closer to 320 s.f. Using the standard 4 s.f per bird your would have capacity for 80 birds. So yes your 6 birds would be very roomy in that coop.

Ahhh brilliant!!! I should clarify though, thats the size of the run and coup together, does that make a difference?

Minimum guidelines (at least the ones I go by) are 4 sq. ft. of housing per LF chicken, and 10 sq. ft. of run space. So for 6 chickens, that would mean a housing of at least 24 sq. ft. and a run of at least 60 sq. feet. So at 104 sq. ft. total minimum, your birdies will have LOTS and LOTS of space!!!

(here are your chooks enjoying their space). Good for them! Chickens love as much space as you can give them!.
