Hey y’all! I was wondering if I could get some help? We have been working on our coop for the past couple of days and I’m nervous it’s too small. It’s an awning from a building we already have in the yard, we have just closed in the 2 sides that were open.
It’s 40.6 sq ft and I have 18 chicks, giving them 2.25 sq ft of floor space per chicken. I am going to have 2, maybe 3 roosting bars that will be 67in long, which will be plenty of roosting space. There will also be 4 nesting boxes. Nesting boxes and litter pan will all be raised off the floor so they have the entire floor for space.
My run is 10x20 and they will have access to it everyday, rain or shine.
Will this work? I know I probably won’t be able to add more which sucks but as long as the ones I have now will be comfy in their coop I’ll be alright
