Inbetween Coop, what to use after Brooder??

Quote:
I would build a separate temporary coop and fence off a part of the run for the chicks, so they could see each other outside. I would keep them in their temp coop for a while, a week or so, before letting them into their own run. Take it a step at a time and you are less likely to have problems mixing them.

Maybe you could throw something together from pallets and a tarp, or a shipping crate, or the like.

If your coop is that small, will they have 4 sq ft per bird when you mix the flocks? IMO that is minimum....
 
I agree with ddawn. I would set up a little dog crate coop and run in the middle of the big girls run? That might be an option. You could build a simple little box, and use recycled wood to build a frame for a small run. Put it right in where the big girls can see em!

Could you post photos of your set up so we could get a better idea of the size and space?

I love your set up, we have plenty of room. I am going to have my DH look at this and see if we can do something similar.
