Hello and welcome to BYC

I think you could fit around 4 medium to small chickens in there comfortably. That will give them enough space to move around without getting too crowded.

I like bantams but i have heard the eggs are really small but i don't want a big chicken, as i have little space. Is there a medium sized chicken suitable for a 3.5m2 area. And any other info would be very helpful

Thanks

1 meter is a little over a yard... right? so just estimating that would be about like 90 square feet total for the coop and the run, thats a lot of space. say you got 5 chickens, so 15-20 square feet in the coop and then 70 yards of a run.... so actually you could really fit 7 standard chickens if you wanted to or you could do like 4 standard fowl an like 5 bantam or something like that.... idk just brain storming
