Adding 3 pullets to a small “flock”

[black_cat]

I found a similar setup on Facebook Marketplace for $200 so I might get it as a backup. I think 6 will be maximum capacity for sure.
Any input on having 2 coops versus 1 big one? Will it prevent bonding if they sleep in different coops?

You could put the coops right next to eachother and knock down some of the walls, do some attaching, and poof, you've got your chicken coop that has now doubled in size

That is a possibility. Our current coop/run is a tractor one so we can move it around the yard. I kind of like that setup though and combining the coops would probably make that impossible. However, if I could figure out a way to park them next to each other and have a window / door so they could see each other, that might work.

You could also put the two roos in one as a bachelor pad, which would prevent them from fighting and allow your girls to have some peace.

That would be a good idea,
then you can keep the cockerels(once they get randy) in one setup and the girls in the other.
