How much space per chicken?

In terms of roaming, each chicken at a minimum will require 15 square foot. So if you have 6 chickens you will need around 90 square foot (6×15). This isn’t much land at all- a ten foot long by nine foot wide strip of grass would meet this. read more

As for run space, 10 sq ft of ground space per LF chicken and 7.5 sq ft per bantam is generally sufficient. This also depends on your ability to allow your flock to free range. If your flock is able to free range all day, every day, then you may not need much of a run at all. read more
