I'm planning to have 8 chickens: 7hens and 1 rooster (Rhode Island Reds, and Barred Plymouth Rocks)
6 ducks: 5 female ducks, 1 drake (Campbell Khaki's, and Runners)
And 4 geese: 3 female geese, 1 gander (Tufted Toulouse).
My run was planned to be an 'L' shaped area 10×16, before we decided on the geese.
The chicken coop is planned at 8×12,
And we have since added two duck houses (one a 4×3, and another a 2×3)
And a goose house (3×3)
Within the run...
Dust bath and duck pools are planned within the run...
Is this enough space for all of these birds? Or is it absolutely necessary that we add to it to better accommodate with the addition of the geese?
(I've included photos of the rough sketch plan and layout of my coop and run... it doesn't Incude the fenced in portion of land that they will have access too also, where our horses will be.)
