My flock of 8! Two questions!

[Shelly’sflock]

Starting my coop this week, I have 8 babies! How big would everyone suggest I make the coop? That is question one now question two, I have one chicken that both times I spoke to the guy he said it so fast I couldn’t write it down what she is, so who wants to guess?? Her name is Henrietta!! An she is the cutest one to me! In the picture above she’s the one touching the box (their temp “coop” lol).. I will take better pictures of her today.. maybe that will help..

Welcome to BYC!
We are glad you joined our flock!
Jump right in and make yourself at home.
4 sq feet per bird inside the coop is needed.
So I'd make it at least 35 square feet.

Thank you!! I guess we all won’t know for sure until she is full grown! But that is also another one I was thinking she could be too!!
