Egluntyne Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Just a guesstimate. See what others think before you place a bulk order!! Lesley would be the one to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 cooo That's a big run - no idea about numbers though. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen&Lee Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Our chooks run is approx 15ft x 8ft and I can honestly say 7 chooks look lost in it Being a little daft as chooks can be they always seem to be in the same bit together - they really don't utilize the full space Its a diifferent story when they are free rangeing, they spread themselves from the back garden around the side and into the front garden So the question for me would be the size of the house and nesting box to go with it...

bronze Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 15 sounds good to me We're planning on 12x9 and depending on how many hatch are aiming at abot 10-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thank you all . The housing/laying quarters would be fine, we are adding another house to the run this spring that will house up to five, plus there is two more places left in the cube. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
