I just realized that I accidentally said all 7 were bantams. I actually have 5 bantams and 2 standards. Not sure if this changes anything or not. I think I will be making the coop 12x10 just so they can have plenty of extra room to move around!
I am in Michigan and they will all have access to a large covered run along with a shed in their fenced in area. Thankfully, we also have many crows and have not had any problems with hawks this far.
The 7 chicks are all bantams and The older 10 are all standard so would this be fine or should I still make it 12x6? They also have access to a much larger fenced in area that they go in during the day.
Last year I built a coop that is 6x4 ft with an attached run that’s 8x6 ft to house my 10 chickens. This year I bought 7 more chickens and will be expanding both the coop and run in order to give them plenty of space. I was thinking that I would make it so the coop would be 12x4 ft and the run...
