Big Coop or individual pens?

[Animallover606]

I get a coop for my birthday

but I need to know if I should have indidual breeding pens or just one big coop. I have these to show and for looks and because I like them.......... so what do you think would be best? Have one big coop and then a few weeks before the fair put them in them in their own cages or something else? Thanks

if you are planing on hatching separate them if you are not just 1 big coop

If you are wanting to hatch some eggs I would personally go with breeding pens, but if not then one big coop would work to

One large coop sub divide into interior pens with separate runs coming off it outside. 1 building you lock up, maintain, and clean and heat.

I have one big coop for laying hens, and seperate small coops and runs for my breeding stock. It works out really well.
