Any differences in a grow out pen and a coop?

[racuda]

I have three Silkie coops and now I'm convinced I need a grow out pen. Since the three coops have close to the maximum number of adult Silkie occupants, I have been getting rid of my chicks much too soon.

Do your grow out pens have any special design features that make them different from coops?

However, I would venture to say that a grow-out pen doesn't need nestboxes.

Grow out pens in the gamefowl world
Some people do 6 feet high

Usually there's a bunch since we need to separate everybody so there kept simple and mobile

I was thinking of a hoop coop for a grow out pen. Then use it to segregate Roos from the flock if I ever get a roo.
