New chick Mama

Glad to meet you. Best wishes with your birds and all your plans!
More space is better, and it depends on the size of your birds: bantams compared to standard or large sized birds. Also the temperament of the birds; some breeds do better in confinement than others. BUT...
Coop Space Guide:

  • Bantam: 2 square feet each.
  • Standard: 4 square feet each.
  • Large: 8 square feet each.
Run Space Guide:
Glad to meet you as well!! Thanks for responding!!
 
Hello, welcome to BYC. Technically, you do have room, but it is better to give them more room, than minimum. I like for mine (large standards) to have at least 20 sq ft each in the run, and 4 sq ft each in the coop.
Thank you! Great to have an idea of what's good space..we'd already been talking about expanding, so looks like that may be a good goal..
