I have a "Big Bird" Run that has all 9 Easter Eggers and 1 EE Rooster. They are in a 30 ft. Run with a rubbermaid coop.
I also have a mix of 8 other hens: Isa Brown's, Orpingtons and a Wyandotte mix. We are in the process of trying to integrate the 8 hens. They are from 2 to 7 months old in different coops at present. We havent decided which rooster to put with them but the roosters are all around 5-7 months. We have 4 to pick from
The other 3 roosters will stay together in the "Bachelor Pad".
The EEs use 1 bar on their 4 bar roost and lay in 2 of the 4 nesting boxes. It seems like a lot of wasted space and I was wondering if it would be wise to divide that coop in 1/2? Have 2 seperate areas, each with its own door for the chickens. Then we would only need to build an extra run for the others.
What is your opinion/advice on this?
