Keeping separate flocks

Ideally, I want a barn with lots of stalls.

In the meanwhile, for practical reasons, we're using the shed & stall originally meant for my horse (he passed), and we built an additional coop. The last we split in two (each 4x8), the stall split in two (each 5x10), and the shed split in 3 (not evenly, but it's 20x8 overall).
So that's 7 in total and with the different breeder pens we only have two grow-outs. Ahhhhh, not enough room!

Anyway, look at this cool coop a friend sent me on FB (sorry no pics of the inside, I want to see too!)
It looks like each is one door wide.

Now you’re making me look bad…. Lol. I kind of like my frankencoop…

Yours looks better than our unevenly divided shed! Our place is this & that, especially the fencing for their yards, LOL.
One pen we had stubborn fliers, we didn't want to mess with netting so we made the fence 8ft tall by putting another length of 4ft wire up there. That makes it sound better than it looks :p but hey, it gets the job done for now. My chief concern is that the birds have enough space to be happy, not just okay. Because breeding shouldn't mean torment. It looks like you have a nice big run space :D
 
Current coop. I need to get updated pictures of it.
