Just over an acre and currently have 5 hens with 1 rooster. I'd like to add more hens - possibly double - to prevent over breeding from the rooster. I also wanted to get a flock of ducks and have a home large enough for cohabitation with the ducks on the floor on one side and the chickens roosted up on the other side

I have a coop that I used to keep about 10 hens in. It was about 4’ by 8’ and about 4’ tall without the legs. I free ranged my birds. A storage container takes up a lot of unnecessary space and are basically permanent. The town you live in may make you permit it
