The reason that I'm using a grow-out pen is to protect them from the adult chickens.

I'm in SoCal and am wondering if I can skip the grow-out pen and move the girls straight into the coop when they outgrow the brooder. This is the coop I ordered:

It honestly doesn't look much bigger than some of the pens pictured here, plus it is warm here in the fall.
Thoughts appreciated!
I have used small sheds and shelterlogic portable garages with good success, cheap too. About $150 +/-.Great ideas for a small number of birds. What do you do with 100 that are outgrowing their brooder?
