Currently I have 5 birds - 3 RIRs and 2 BRs - that are 6 months old and laying great!
My plan is to get 6 more, different breeds, next Spring.
My current coop is 5'x4'(20sqft) with a run 6'x9'(54sqft).
Here's what I would like to do. I would like to add a second coop that connects to the run on another side rather than build a new larger coop or expand the current one.
I guess my question is, will having 2 coops with a shared run area work? or will they all by nature cram into one coop even if there are two?
I will be expanding the run as well, but they will be free-ranging most of the time anyway.
Input appreciated,
Thanks!
