Anyone have a coop design that incorporates an area to raise babies?

[Tennessee Denise]

So I'm bldg a new coop that will hold adults and feed, supplies and am looking for a design that will incorporate an area to raise babies. Any help is appreciated.

I designed a temporary wall with a separate people, pop doors and run to raise chicks.

This is what I did about a year and a half after we built the coop, but it works

Our coop has a separate area under the poop board. Can be used for brooding, isolation or whatever.

Yes! I don't have a photo of it at the moment but we built an enclosed broader area right in the main part of the coop. When the Littles are big enough to integrate, we have a section of wire we can pull up out of the way and they can go explore the whole coop but escape back to safety if necessary.

I have a roughly 2x3 area that has doors into my storage area and clean-out doors as well as a couple of little chick-sized doors into the coop.
I use it for chicks and for isolation. And when it isn't needed for either of those, it is extra storage for me. I let the chicks explore the coop and run back in through the chick sized doors. My only issue with that is it is sort of counter top height for my convenience which is a big jump for chicks - so I have what I call a fire escape (basically ladders protected in a frame of wire so the littles can get to safety. When there are no chicks I remove the fire escape.

I have a completely separate, smaller, coop for rearing chicks. It is also useful if I need to isolate an adult chicken for any reason.

PS: The current one is an A-frame tractor, 5' x 5' on the base, with a roughly 2.5' x 5' "upstairs space. .After a few days, the hen always takes the chicks from the temporary (cardboard) brooding box (oversized nesting box) in the lower part, to the upstairs area for sleeping.
I am thinking of buildiing a new and improved one that would be 4' x 4' on the base and with a ramp leading to an "upstairs" space with the same floor area. When the chicks are small they are not good at climbing but they grow and need more space just as they become more agile.

That's a great idea also, especially when one chicken might be sick. Thanks.
