I've had five hens in a TS Sentinel coop for almost two years now. I also attached an additional 40 SF covered run to it. They only go inside to roost at night and to lay eggs. That seemed like an OK setup all this time. Now I've noticed some feather pecking going on and I was advised that's probably because the coop is too small. So now I am looking at ways to modify the Sentinel coop. Referencing the pictures below, would it work to "plywood in" the area below the building and add some roosts on the lower level? I guess I am looking for ways to relieve the crowding at night. Would the chickens even go into the newly enclosed lower level at night?
One picture is a generic pic of a Sentinel coop, the other is mine with the attached run.
