how much room does a chicken need in coop
Inside a coop you will find the floor (which we cover with sawdust and straw) and a roosting/perching space. The actual chicken coop needs to be at least 3 square foot per chicken. So following on with our example of six chickens, the coop needs to be at least 18 square foot.his is where your chickens will sleep and you need to make sure that each chicken has 10 inches of perching space. So in our example you would need a roosting pole which is 60 inches long (5 foot).
