Good afternoon, fellow chicken lovers! So, I am curious what your thoughts are on how many chickens I can comfortably fit in a 6 x 10 run. The coop is attached and is 6' x 4'. Our girls have access to the coop and run at all times. They also can free range whenever I am outside with them, which is fairly often when the whether is nice enough for them. Currently, I have 2 splash cochins, an ayam cemani, and 2 silkies. All hens, no roos. I would love to add few more, and was wondering if that is wise. I know 8 -12 square feet is best for standard chickens, but considering i only have 2 standard hens (the AC is pretty small too, somewhere in between a bantem and standard in my opinion). I'd like to add a maran and an easter egger to the flock, if possible. Thoughts?
