I have a 4x8 coop that is divided. My rooster (I didn't really want a rooster but he was a rescue that was going to end up in a pot) has a 2x4' area and the girls have 4x6' (I don't want fert. eggs as I don't eat chicken) I am planning on putting a hen or two with him this spring because he seems frustrated. My question is how many chickens is too many in the coop? I've read anywhere from 6-50!The rooster and his hens will have approx. 30x30' area to free range and the other girls have 20x20' area.....also are one or two hens ok with a rooster or will he be too much for them?
