Ok I guess I was more concerned about them being warm enough lol. But I’ll go bigger on the coop! Thanks for the experienced input! Much appreciated.If the run is truly predator proof you can get away with a little less space as they will just go out to the run when they come off the roost.
Mine will hunker down in the coop on brutally cold days. Some will hang out up on the poop boards. I've kept as many as 28 birds in my 8x12 coop without too much squabbling (that works out to 3.55 sq ft). Three of them were bantams. Getting enough roost space in that area may be challenging. Going to 3 sq ft is super tight IMO.
