Hello and welcome to BYC!
When building a coop and run each chicken should have a minimum of 4sq ft of coop space, 10sq ft of run space, 1 linear ft of roost, and 1 sq ft of ventilation. Also 1 nesting box per 3-4 hens.

Just now living in an area we are allowed chickens! We are trying to figure it all out before we get our fuzzy babies this Spring! Planning on 5 or 6, just figuring out coop, runs, etc! Can't wait to learn from experts AND novices !
