how many chickens are in a chicken house
Confidence votes 623. In commercial chicken operations, the long chicken houses hold thousands and thousands of birds; in broiler/ roaster programs there may be as many as 20,000 chickens in a chicken house. Backyard chickens are housed under more humane conditions and given about 3-4 square feet per bird if the chickens also free range; about 10 square feet should be allotted to each hen if they are confined to the house full time.
