Ok I thought the rough estiamte was 3 feet per hen (standard).. and now I am reading 4 sqft per hen. Is it not feasible to go with 3ft? This will severely restrict the number of hens we can have, sighs. I had thought originally of having bantams, so the coop size we were estimating worked better. Now hubby wants standard size hens...
We really are limited on space in our yard. I have a yard that is 60x100 and my backyard is probably 30x100, so our combination shed/coop is going to be restricted in overall size. We were planning on a 6x8 structure. With 6x2 being coop size. That means no more than 3 standard size hens correct? With an overall 6x6 run size being acceptable?
How many bantams would we be able to hold in this amount of space?
Thanks,
Nancie
