Need help with coop

[Cluckcluck1215]

So I have a 12 ft. Iong, by 10 ft. Wide shed.I want to make a chicken coop with it(of course, tear it down pretty much and rebuild it into a coop, since it is NOT sturdy, it's not used, it was a horse shed, no door anymore)I was wondering, how many chickens would I be able to fit in that?They wouldn't live in the coop permanently, they would have a large run and some free range time.

Thank you in advance.

If its just for nesting boxes and roosting you could fit quite a few in there.

Like, do you have any gestaminte?

How big is the large run ?
What breed of chickens?
On average 30-40 chickens could nest in there.

 

[Percheron chick]

Pictures? 25-40 if you stick with the same size.

Chickens don't need much.

I'd say 30 max...depending on your climate, your predator load, and what kind of run you'd have.

OK, from your prolific profile info, I see you live in Maine .....
.......unless you have a good weather protected run for winter, I wouldn't put more than 12-15 in there.
