For heavy breeds, like Barred Rocks or Buff Orpingtons, if you let your chickens out to forage during the day, then the coop that you put them in at night should have at least 4 square feet of space per bird. Thus, a 4â² by 8â² coop would be adequate for about 8 birds.
Bantams, being smaller, donât need as much space per bird. This is one reason they are popular in backyard flocks. 2 square feet per bird is adequate if they are allowed daytime forage, so a 4â² by 8â² coop could house 16 bantams. We recommend a minimum of 5 square feet per bantam if they are kept confined, so a 5â² by 10â² coop could contain 10 bantams.
