Hello!! Im very new to chickens
... I keep reading a lot about coop and run space but i'm still really confused. This is the coop and run me and my partner built recently. The run is 4m by 1.2 m and the coop is 1.2 by 1.2 with 3 roosting poles.
We originally were only going to get 4 chickens. 2 australorps, 1 wyandotte and a silkie....but when we went to pick them up the breeder gave me too young pullets for free.Im actually not sure what breed they are. We took them thinking we have enough space but now im not so sure.
There all getting along great! I want my birds to be happy and healthy. When they get a little older the will be let out of the run for most if not all of the day but im concerned the coop is still too small for them to sleep/roost in??
