I am thinking of getting chcikens on my allotment I was think of about 4 to 6 being msde up of 3 ordinary point of lay chickens (brown type)and 3 others a bit more fancy or differnt colours or a 2 to 2 split, I live a 5 minute walk from the allotments and they will be locked up a night and let out in the morning. What size pen is needed I am think of having a 6 by 4 shed or something simular and a pen is goning to be donated the pen is a bout 6 ft high abut can't remember the length.
What type of chicken do people have these will be pets and will be kept until they die and have names etc

As for the run area, it goes without saying the more room you can give them the better but the space for them is limited by space availability, just enrich their environment with hanging greens, perhaps a bale of straw or apple crate to jump upon etc, to keep them occupied and you will have happy chooks, and remember to add perching in the shed.
