Hi, I'm currently making my hen house and just thought how big should the next box's be!! I'm planning on getting ex barn / Batt chickens if that makes a difference.

Many thanks in advance.

12"x12" should be about right! But thats without measuring my own!

depends on what size bird you have 12x 12 for bantam .14 x 14 for normal birds .
