I think they need more space for getting away from each other set up areas that are like hiding places where they don’t have to always see each other all the time make more than one food and water station that’s hidden from the other. How big is the tractor? Welcome to BYC

The tractor is 5' x 8'. I also put a divider, wire mesh, in the center so they have the ability to see each other with no contact

the tractor is 40 sq ft the pen is 28 sq ft the shedcoop is ? idk lets guess its an 8x6 so thats another 48 sq ft ? and if you add it all up and divide by 5 hens (116 / 5 = 23 sq ft each) which makes it sound like enough space but since its broken up into 3 separate areas they are always in a smaller space... do you know what I mean?
The shed and tractor are hard to make bigger but the pen thats attached to the coop is what I would make bigger.
