Hi all
I plan to build a chicken coop now to be ready for spring laying hens and i have a question that i would like someone to anwser.
how many hens can i keep in a coop ( 20 feet by 12) and a run (60 feet by 45feet) an estimate would be nice.
thanks.
I want to keep about 50 hens but i dont know if i can.
p.s i have kept chickens before (1 year ago) but neighbors complaints and lack of experiance made me stop keeping chickens. but now i feel i should bring them back and have a second chance at keeping chickens ( they were absolutley brillant and give me a lot of fun especialy my funny cockeral) neighbors problem was the cockeral and chickens jumping into his garden and destroying his dear plants but now i plan to raise the fence (to stop chickens jumping into his garden) and not keep any cockerals.
i was very upset about losing the chickens
