Chicken Run Space Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Total Space (T) is:

\[ T = N \times S \]

Where:

\( T \) is the total space (sq ft).
\( N \) is the number of chickens.
\( S \) is the space per chicken (sq ft/chicken).

What is a Chicken Run?

A chicken run is an enclosed outdoor area where chickens can roam, forage, and exercise. It provides a safe space for chickens to engage in natural behaviors such as scratching, pecking, and dust bathing. The size of the chicken run is crucial for the health and well-being of the chickens, as it ensures they have enough space to move around freely and reduces the risk of stress and aggression.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Number of Chickens (N): 10
Space per Chicken (S): 4 sq ft/chicken

Using the formula to calculate the Total Space:

\[ T = 10 \times 4 = 40 \text{ sq ft} \]

This means that the total space required for this example is 40 sq ft.
