Hi everyone! I have had a flock of 7 which has now become a flock of 16 (the new babies are not in the henhouse at this time). Right now the older chickens are in a 4x6x5 house with access to a 8x20 run and free range in the evening on 2 acres.
Time to make a bigger palace! I have a friend who has offered to build a new coop for only the cost of the materials (he is a skilled craftsman, so I am thrilled!). So, what I would like to ask is, what would be the ideal size for this many chickens? Would would your ideal coop include? Any pics to share? Any suggestions? I want to make sure I get it all right and get everything I need in there.
Thanks so much for all your help!
