Plan 4 sq ft of coop floor per bird and 8–10 sq ft of outdoor run. More space = healthier, calmer birds.
8–10 inches of roost bar per bird, and one nesting box per 3–4 hens.
4 birds → 16 sq ft coop · 8 birds → 32 sq ft · 12 birds → 48 sq ft (plus 2x that in run).
Overbuilding the run is the cheapest way to avoid pecking and disease problems later.

About 4 square feet inside the coop and 8–10 square feet in the run per standard-size bird.
Stress, feather pecking, disease and fewer eggs.
About 24 sq ft of coop + 48–60 sq ft of run (roughly a 6x8 run).
