We have a 12 x 20 former chainlink dog run converted to a chicken run. The coop is inside at one end. It was built seven years ago to contain 6 hens raised from baby chicks. Only two girls remain out of the original group. A friend trying to be nice, unbeknownst to us purchased and shipped 15 assorted baby chicks to our address. We were totally shocked! Our problem is the existing coop is only able to roost 6 to 8 birds maximum. I am seeking suggestions. Attached are photos of the chainlink run and the coop. Should I have two coops inside or cut through the chainlink and attached a commercially made coop. Would two coops confuse the hens?
