That holds both the layers (usally around 20 year round) and the roasters (100-300) and 10 turkeys. The chicken doors lead to an enclosed pen like Kim said, because we do have both coyotes and racoons, in fact we lost about 40 birds to them and hawks this summer. We took to closing the chicken doors at night after they went in to roost. We use a seperate building as a chick house until they get big enough to be in with the layers.
