Four square foot of floor space for the standard size chicken.
 
I went to the small animal swap in Newaygo this morning and in less than an hour I was able to re home my Black Austrolorp roo and one of his girls. When I got home I found that I had two German New Hampshire chicks hatched and one Delaware chick.

I also handed out some chickenstock flyers.
