I have had chickens for about a year now and I absolutely love it. My husband and I built our own coop. Its a 4x8x8.
We started out with 10 chicks but I ended up with 2 roosters and one had to go live somewhere else so now we have 9. Anyways, the point that I am trying to reach is that I want to expand my flock. I have ordered 7 more chicks that are supposed to arrive in mid April. My concern is that my original coop isn't big enough so I really don't know what my next step should be.
Would it be easier to just buy a simple coop because I know that my husband is not game for building another coop ( I feel bad investing in those cheap things) or could my coop be sufficient enough? Help Please!
Thank you!
Here are some pictures to give you a visual of my coop to maybe help with giving me advice.
