64 inches by 32 inches? If that’s the case, you can only put in maximum 3 hens in the coop (5 ft by 2.5 ft= 12.5 ft) If that is by feet you can put 400 chickens (64’x 32’= 2,048 square Feet) To get the square footage multiply width by length of the coop, example 10 ft. x 12 ft. =120 feet, then devide by 5 ft (ideal sq feet per hen) = 24 hens in my case. The height of the coop also matters, my coop is 7-10 high, which allows me to have multiple height of perches (roosts). But you also need 10 sq feet of run (pen) per chicken. Hope this helped.

30 nests are plenty for 80 chickens

Hi Spartan
I think that I understand.
For Example :

In coop size : 48 feet large x 20 feet large = 960 Sq. feet

960 Sq.feet divide 10 = 96 Chickens

It is correct ??

COOP size would be 4 feet per chicken, so 960 divide by 4 = 240 chickens. Now, for RUN space, it would be 960 divided by 10 feet per chicken.

Common practice is 1 rooster per 10-15 hens.

960 Sq.feet divide 10 = 96 Chickens

That would be excellent!

If your goal is to get fertilized eggs for hatching chicks,
then 1 cock to 10 hens is the commercial standard for fertility efficacy.
