Hello all
I am just getting back into chickens after taking a 5 or so year break. We have moved to a new farm and must build a new coop.
I would like 50 layers. How big of a coop and run should we make?
I was thinking of using part of a building that already exists and I could make a 6 X 12 coop and an 10 X 48 outside run. I think this should be sufficient but since it has been a while, I would like my thoughts confirmed. LOL
I am in the Upper Peninsula of Michgian where we have cold winters so I need to make sure the inside coop is sufficient to over winter the hens.
Thanks for your help...I look forward to your responses.
