I want to build a tractor set-up with a run that measures 12 X 12. Then, I want to divide that in half in order to raise two breeds separate from one another. So, each run will be 6 X 12. That gives 7 Silver Penciled Rocks and, 7 Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas a bit over 10 sq. ft. per bird inside the run. Six feet wide sounds kinda narrow but, I see many runs even narrower here.
The coop will measure 5 X 12. It also, will be divided into two 5 X 6 halves. Each "half" will provide each bird a bit over 4 sq. ft. per bird inside the coop.
The chickens will be locked into the coop only at night. My plan was to have the feeders mounted outside, in the run. Should I instead, put the feeders inside the coop?
