At present the legal min. space per chicken is about the size of an a4 sheet of paper (law may change soon!) If it were me then I'd say about 3ftsq per chicken for the house and about 10ftsq per chicken for the run. For 100 chickens that works out at 300ftsq for the house 20x15ftsq and 1000ftsq for the run 20x50ftsq.

It depends on how big it is. If you have a big enough outside chicken run to go with it (an equal number of sq. feet as the inside), you only need about 2-3 sq. feet per grown bird. If you don't have a sufficient outside run, you'll need 4-5 sq. feet per bird. For bantams, you need about have the space. hope this helps

Chickens do not lay chicks, they lay eggs.
