How many chickens can stay in a 3/3 coop, including the nesting boxes? I clean out the coop every morning and let them into a large run and/or free range.

I would say that you can get away with 3 standard size birds, or maybe 4 if it is a 4-5 pound bird. The nest boxes shouldn't count as floor space, as most birds will not go in them unless they are laying an egg. Furthermore, if you give the birds a much larger run area, then it really won't be as bad, but if the run is also tiny, then you could be causing discomfort to the birds due to the confinement.How many chickens can stay in a 3/3 coop, including the nesting boxes?
