Okay, newbie here asking the same question everyone else has already asked. How large should my outdoor run be? I have 4 standard size Hens. I read on here about 4-5 square feet per chicken, but then I have read elsewhere about numbers up to 12 square feet per bird. We have a coop that is 4'X'4' and 3' high up to the gable (5 feet tall at the highest point), and we are attaching a run. Is a 4x8 foot run sufficient ( it will be 5 feet high)? ( that would be 8 square feet per bird, right?)
What do you recommend?
Thanks!
