Hi all! I’ve searched this page but can’t seem to find the answer I’m looking for. I’m aware of the 4:10 ratio for the coop/run but I’ve also read (correct me if I’m wrong) that if you have a large run that is able to be used all day/year round that you can reduce the amount of space needed in the coop. Is that accurate? I’m trying to figure out the maximum amount of chickens we will be able to comfortably have in our situation. I will eventually have over 1000 sq ft of run space and 95sq ft of coop space. We are starting with 19 egg layers. We hope to one day in the future raise some meat birds.
Since I have a larger run that will be used year round can we comfortably have more than the 23 birds with the recommended coop space of 4ft per bird?
