Take a look at this article:
http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/LM-20.pdf

On page 4 it has a few guidelines.  For example in a 5 x 7 ft grazing cage, if you had 4 hens you would need to move it every 3 days to make sure they had pasture to graze on.  And that's in Hawai'i so make adjustments for your own climate!

Really though, the bigger the better for run space.  Some sellers are very unrealistic about the capacity of the runs they are selling.

Or I guess if you are unsure of the adjustment to make you could just move to Hawaii.  Your choice
