One aspect that is sometimes overlooked when you’re needing to confine your birds is your birds’ individual temperaments. Is your alpha hen one that wants to see another chicken RUN from them, or, are they content with another hen just diverting their gaze?
The more hens you have with stronger personalities or the more bullies you have, the more space you will need.
lots of animals are like this. I could have 8 of my horses together in one stall until I add one mare. If she is in the mix, the horses are constantly moving around, even over a 5 acre field.
