I recently had to give up my flock due to a mycoplasma infection caused by purchasing an unsuspectingly infected hen and I am planning on establishing a new flock but I am unsure of how many hens exactly I could keep (ideally as many as possible).
I recently completed the construction of a 40 square foot raised chicken coop which has three 6ft long roosting poles and 4 nesting boxes with a 400 square foot run.
I am planing on purchasing an incubator to hatch a batch of chicks but need to know just how many chickens my coop and run could fit as I am unsure.
What are your thoughts?
