How Big Does A Chicken Coop Need To Be?
A chicken coop for 50 chickens is going to need to be pretty big, right? Or is it ok to crowd them?
If you truly care about the health and well-being of your chickens, then you will care about the size of your coop. Don’t assume that just because they “fit” in the coop they are comfortable and safe. Some chicken breeds may be very susceptible to disease, and close crowded conditions in a coop are a breeding ground for disease.
As a general rule of thumb, assume each chicken needs about 4 square feet of space, though bigger breeds may need a bit more, and smaller breeds may not need quite so much. Choose to go too big, rather than too small, at the very least.
What Style of Coop Should I Choose for 50 Chickens?
Are you having some trouble knowing what to look for in a chicken coop?
Here are some things to consider when choosing your style of chicken coop for 50 chickens…
Size -How much space do you have on the property to house 50 chickens? Is your choice of coop going to take up a lot of backyard space? Would you benefit from detaching the run or keeping it with the coop? If you can’t properly keep 50 chickens, then there is no harm in starting with a smaller flock, and maybe choosing a chicken coop for 40 chickens instead.
Security – Sometimes it can be easiest to go for the cheaper coops, even though it may put your chickens’ safety at risk. If you live in an area where your hens are prone to predators, it is wise to consider taking extra measures to ensure your chickens don’t become dinner to any wandering raccoon or other predator. Use strong fencing and secure doors that cannot be easily compromised.
Climate – Will your chicken coop for 50 chickens keep them warm in the cold months? How about in the hot months? If you live in an area where temperatures may be more extreme, then it is wise to consider some ways you can keep the temperature in your coop regulated.
