Hi Horsejody,
I was just wondering how many chickens do you have in a coop that is 12x20?
Mine is only 8x8 for 12(they are too small for the coop now,but will love it when I can finish it.
Thank you,
Ed

Right now there are 6 chickens. This year I will be adding 3 or 4 giants, 5 barred rocks, my mystery chick, maybe 1-3 white leghorns (if they have pullets at the sale) and possibly 1 or 2 silkies. It's just getting too crowded. I might even have to pass on the leghorns.

Sounds like you have 240 square feet. At 4 sq feet recommended per chicken you could have 60 so you are golden coop wise.
