The optimum space for chickens is 3 to 4 square feet per bird. Chickens like to move around so the more space you provide the happier the hens. If you keep too many in a small enclosure they will pick at each other and fight. You will have birds missing feathers and often wounds that may lead to the birds death which is natures way of making room.
