Is it okay to have 2 coops in one yard??? I have one large coop in my run but I'm afraid it isn't big enough for all of my girls and guys. My coop is rated for 12-15 standard chickens and has 6 nest boxes. I have 11 standard chickens and 6 bantams. We did build a small coop but it is no where near good enough to house them for the winter. So I was looking at getting another coop slightly smaller then my main coop and extending my chicken yard another 7 feet. Is it okay to have to coops in one run??? I pretty much have to groups of chickens. The first group sleeps in the large coop and the second group sleeps in the smaller one. The smaller one isn't big enough to house 5 bantams and 5 standards.
