I am new to this so advice would be perfect how many Rhode Island Red could I fit in this coop they did say 4-5 hens I have seen more and I have seen less ? I have a big run for them as you can see

400






400




400
 
what are the dimensions?

general rule of thumb for 'in coop' is 4 square ft per chicken, for run it's 10 square ft per chicken. Granted that is just a general rule of thumb, there are some really good articles here about coop size (about anything and everything really)


go up to the top of the page, click the learning center button and/or just go to the search box and type in 'coop size' :)
