I plan to have multiple coops for my girls. What am I saying? I already have multiple coops for the birds! 2 brooders, 1 8'x8' coop with 12 layers, 1 3'x4' coop to put sick birds or 3-4 of a single breed, and an A-Frame that will house my current set of 26 5-week olds. This chicken thing can get addictive (and expensive!)!!
It can be as many or as few coops as you would like, but most people have minimum 3 per coop and maximum of ...Thousands!!
I do the multiple coops for a specific reason. It is a headache to attempt to integrate flocks, as chickens do not like new members upsetting their social/pecking order. Also new birds can introduce disease. I think it is easier and better to get each flock a new home. Just my opinion.
