How to divide chickens into 2 coops?

[wnbull0047]

Hello this is my first post on BYC . I have 2 coops and just got some new birds. How do I go about dividing them into 2 coops. They really like to stick together.

I'm not clear on the situation/question.

Would you give some additional info:

Do you already have a flock and got some newbies to integrate ?

Or have 2 coops with no existing flock and due to coop sized need to divide the newbies?


If they are the only chickens you have and grew up together, IMO find a way to let them live and roost together.

If the chickens are all getting along well together it's a shame to break them up. Then if you want to change some birds around later, they will need to go through integration issues because they won't remember(know) each other.

I agree with Diva....unless you must divide them for some reason it might be better to keep them together. Oh, and
