We don't free range our small flock of 5 and have them contained in a large run. Chicken math got me and I want more, however the space in this coop and run is just too small to add many more comfortably. Ive been going back and forth on redoing the entire setup to make it large enough for 6 or 7 more or just making a second coop/run setup and managing two flocks that never interact. I see many pros and cons both ways, but one thing that has me leaning towards two flocks is how much I actually love the current setup I have. My coop is a prefab and for me I really like the ease of cleaning and maintaining it. I also am not handy and not able to build something on my own, nor do I want to spend thousands on a large enough Coop or convert a large shed. My husband would be able to build a coop with plans, but again im not sure I want to go that route. Any members here have multiple coop/run setups? how does it work for you? Do you wish they were combined or do you find it easy to manage?
