So, Last week my grandfather fixed our chicken coop from 2017. And It only has 2 nesting boxes and we have 4 wyandottes, Plus we are getting 2 silkies very soon. Im not quite sure If this will affect them... Should we buy another chicken coop or stay with the same one?:hmm:confused:
 
There is really no way to say if the coop is lartge enough based on what you've posted. What are the dimensions, feet by feet, of the coop? Two nest boxes is sufficient for the number of birds listed
 
Nesting boxes aren't going to be an issue. Square footage of floor space, and length of roost bar, will tell you if you have room or not. The recommended amount of coop space per chicken is 4 sq ft for a standard bird (and roughly 12" roost space per standard bird), but that may be affected by climate, how much run space they have, etc.
