So why I am racking my brain on how to do my winter set up with so many families as I always want them to have a good amount of space to roam as long winter inside.. but to break the coop into many small pens does not make sense as long winter to be cooped like that. And can’t just go outside...

That is really nice, yes I am More thinking winter challenges with separate pens of many’s families for each breed. Summer would work better for us as we can do chicken tractors. But winters here, no way - and winters are long. -20 to -25 if the normal temps and for many periods we get -30...
