i have finally measured a area for my new run if council give me permission and its 5 m by 3 m , would this be fine for 5 or 6 birds { ex batts } .

in time they would go with my other girls into the biger run an i would really want to keep the smaler run as a qaunitine area only .

My run is the same size and I have 10 in there with no problems......

hi andy , i already have 18 girls in my 10m -6 m run on the other plot so i dont want to many more as i am hoping in time the new girls will go with the others. it seems a small space when u say 5 m by 3 but when u look at the area its quite large.

You work out the metre squared which is 5*3=15
Minimum of 1m squared per chicken but it is not really enough.  I would say 7 and a half chickens.

silly roughlee, you can't put half a chicken in a run, that's cruel!!!!

They are building flats up the road from us and the parking area allocated is 1.2 per flat!

what half of the chicken was that RH  the left or the right  .

was that 1.2 metre my god thats not right.

[AndyRVTR]

You could always do it 14.5 and have 7 whole chickens... they are soooo much nicer looking than the 1/2 chicken

stu how did u ever get to the half a chicken  bit ..lmao

1/2 roast chicken with pots and veg is more manageable than a whole one
