I have 7 chicks at 2 months old and 10 new chicks. My coop can hold 12 roosting adult chickens, will all the chicks be fine for a few months since they will be smaller? I plan on adding an addition to the back but it won't happen right away. They will have daily access to a covered large run. I know ,chicken math...I didn't mean to. I should have planned ahead for such things, it's my husbands fault 
We are going through a transition as our old flock got sick with MG so we are abandoning our very old coop that came with the property (we think there is a rat problem underneath and cant catch them) and making a new area and starting a new flock so our setup is still in the works a little. We have a smaller set up (not a walk-in coop) and it is raised off the ground so no critters can live underneath. Our old flock had so much room as we had a very large walk-in coop but they all roosted squeezed together on the same roosting bar except maybe 2 of them so I was wondering if it mattered all that much about the room inside the coop for roosting at night?! Not new to owning chickens, but new to a smaller coop set up! TIA for any advice!
