3. Suburbs
4. Coop = 3X5. Run = 12X5. Isn't that small for BYC peeps?

Current:
1. 9 acres, chickens have access to about 1 acre usless they are feeling particularly adventurous
2. 12 hens
3. Country
4. Coop 4x8 (too small) but completely enclosed run of 12x24 (out in it every day) plus fenced grassy run (24x48 - in it most days) and one acre of yard (free-ranging on weekends with supervision by me and the dogs - they protect their hens!)

Moving soon to:
1. 32 acres surrounding coop
2. 12 hens but chicken math will inevitably create more - my husband has already succumbed to horse math and our herd has already expanded to the new property
3. Way out in the hills
4. Coop will be 12x12 stall in horse barn with attached, roofed 11x36 run and eventually some free-range space once I get the electric poultry netting - plus there are a number of other outbuildings that have yet to be claimed by hubby

Renting a 4 bed/ 2bath house on 1/2 acre (+/-) so back yard is about 1/8 acre total with many 40 pines and back yard is partially privacy fenced with large azalea bushes around the perimeter.

8 chickens total...12 weeks old this coming Sunday...all hens (I hope)...all banty...4 Easter Eggers, 2 Welsummers, 2 Silkies.

Live deep inside the city limits (considered downtown to most folks who live further out) City ordances restrict me to no roosters (good thing)and 10 sq. foot per chicken living space (bad thing) Probably not quite legal with the city as far as the set back off the property line but the neighbor on that side owns her house and wants to babysit the chickens when (and if) we go on vacation.

Coop (self built with scrap lumber mostly) is 7 x 7 ft and is 7 ft. at peak of the roof. Coop is 18 inches off the ground. Their attached run is 8 x 7 ft. with a roof over the entire run. There is an additional 7 x 5 ft shed roof on the coop off the front that gives coverage over both the coop's people door (dutch door style) and the back doors to each of the 5 nest boxes. We are in hurricane country so it really rains here when it rains!

I have chickens for eggs and for the fun of raising chickens and I have so many due to chicken math

and will be getting more this spring.

Almost 2 acres here.
Have 10 buff orpingtons and 4 serama's and 2 DUcles. I will be hatching some Silkies next year after I buy some eggs to go into my new incubator.
We live in a kinda rural area outside of the city.
We have an 8x12 coop/shed with no run since they all free range.
