Hello!

[Tkchickens]

Oh interesting, what expansion would you suggest? I had the lady at the store help me with the set up and she assured me that the chickens would be happy with this coop setup.

You need 3.5-4 sq ft per bird, not including the nest boxes.
You need 1 linear foot of roost space per bird. They won't always use all of it, but when it's hot or you are integrating new pullets. you will need extra roost space to prevent bloody chickens.

Ok. We can always add on more run space. And one rooster will be getting a new home. And possibly a second since another is looking like a rooster as it is getting older. And there are 4, 3ft long perches inside the coop not including the 4 nest boxes.
