Best Coop for 50+ Juveniles

[Farmer_Dan]

Any of you that raise tons of birdies have a favorite type of coop or enclosure to use with juveniles? I am thinking a medium-large sized a-frame with no nests and mostly just roosting areas with exit holes big enough for them, but not big enough that the older birds can come in and harass them.

All my birds free range, but I'm ready to build a coop for the juveniles and I want it to synergies with my free ranging city birds.

I'm thinking something like this one might be the most ideal, but I'm interested in getting other peoples thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

Yes, that could work, but looks like it would need to be bigger for 50. I've used hoop houses for growing out juveniles and meaties. I can get around 20-25 in a 8x8 coop - at least for a while. You may need to build two like the cattle panel ones and use them either separately or butted together.

I guess I'm thinking more about basically letting them go from 3 or 4 weeks to about 8 or 10 weeks outside with a way to let them mingle with the bigger birds a little bit, but only if they really want to. By the 2 - 3 month mark, I'm pretty sure they'll be ready for the main coop.

I do really like that hoop house, that's a stellar design.
