How to Choose the Right Chicken Coop Size for Your Flock in 2025

Buying a chicken coop without knowing the right size? 🚫 That’s the fastest way to end up with stressed-out hens and daily messes.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the perfect chicken coop size in 2025:

---

🧮 How Much Space Per Chicken?

• Inside the Coop: 3–4 square feet per hen
• Outside Run Area: 8–10 square feet per hen

Example:
Got 4 hens? You’ll need at least 16 sq ft inside + 32 sq ft run.

🔄 Room to Grow

Even if you start with 3–4 hens, it’s wise to buy a coop that fits 6–8. Most chicken owners expand their flock within months!

---

📦 Nesting Box Tip

1 nesting box for every 3–4 hens is enough. Don’t overcrowd or they’ll stop laying consistently.
