Depending on how many eggs you can use (or sell), the housing you build, etc....6 or 8 is a good number.

No matter what you end up with, enjoy!

Welcome to BYC. Make your coop and pen far bigger that you think you will ever need. "Just sayin'."

YES! Always. You will never regret making it bigger. Most folks regret going with the "minimum recommended" sizes.

 

[Melky]

Agreed everyone who thinks minimum winds up expanding or buying new housing and/or run space.

WELCOME! Flappy has it right! That's what 6 to 8 chickens ..end up looking like. I promise, no one here will be laughing. Been there done that...well, not quite that many.
