Return to article: How to Choose a Type of Chicken Coop
on 11/22/2005 Allow 6 square feet per small chicken. 8 square feet is needed per large or laying hen. The same square footage is needed for large-breed cocks. The coop roosting area needed for each is 8 to 10 inches by 12 inches. Do not place roosting perches on top of each other. If roosting above the nesting boxes, supply a droppings board. Allow 6 inches below each perch.
