Could this work as a quarantine coop?

I have seen this several times and thought, “well this looks like maybe this could be a good quarantine coop!” I’m not going to be keeping it out at night. I have another coop for that. This coop will be for when I want to introduce new girls and I’ll put this near the coop or in the run!
I was thinking of putting a stick through so they could perch and half of it would be covered by a tarp for shade and protection

Btw it’s from chewy.com

it has dividers so I can add more then one bird as well.

Thanks in advance!
 
Yes that will work. If you introduce chicks, you can make a panic door out of cardboard so they can get away from the big girls. I raised my last chicks in my coop brooder and it worked great. I used a dog x-pen and a crate joined together, I had 9 chicks. Here's the panic door I made, so the chicks could get back in, but kept the big girls out. I integrated at 4 weeks and it went easier than introducing when they're older.

That isn’t quarantine. Quarantine is where they are very far away from each other. You make sure the new chickens don’t have anything before you integrate them.
