What ChickenCoopCalc is for

Coop sizing calculator for backyard flock owners.

Not a hatchery or commercial layer manual. Heat lamps are for chicks, not dry adult flocks.

This map lists pages that exist. It is not a keyword dump and it does not treat every article as its own niche. The calculator (or the pack) is the hub. Guides sit under one pillar each.

Coop & run size

4 sq ft inside, 10 sq ft of run, per standard bird.

• Coop size calculator — Bird count → coop, run, nests, feed.
• Coop build card — Printable flock table.
• How big for 6 hens — The 24 + 60 sq ft build.

Buying a coop

Prefab vs the 4×6 that looks cute until week six.

• Best coops for 6 hens — What a real 24+ sq ft coop costs.

Feed

A quarter pound a day, every day.

• Feed cost — Bags per month, cost per egg.

Winter

Damp kills. Cold usually doesn't.

• Winter heat lamp — Vents, frostbite, brooder wattage.
• Nesting boxes — One per 3–4 hens — they'll still share one.
