They actually prefer to sleep flat-footed.
In general, you should have a minimum of 3-4 square feet of floor space for each large fowl (LF) bird in your flock and 2-3 square feet for bantam breeds. Note I specify âfloor space.â What this means is that it doesnât really matter how tall your coop is â just how wide and how deep.
