The company is replacing my EE, but they have to ship 3 chicks together. So I'm getting three more chicks to add to my current four.

There's that chicken math jumpping into your life, glad you are getting another1/3 to replace the on e that you lost

Looks like we are about to have seven chickens instead of the originally planned four. The coop I have is 42L x 42W x 47H in.
Should I get a second coop? Is it ok to have two separate coops in the same run? Should I just get one bigger coop and forget about my original one? Or will that one be ok for seven? They are still babies and in my house, so I have time. I'm just trying to prepare!

You will need another small coop or one larger one, i would figure on 2 square fooot per grown bird which would be 14 square fot, you have 12 and that may be ok, if they get a long ok.

Y'all were soooooo right about the chicken math! I got a small coop because I was trying to set a limit for myself. HA!

So do you think I could do two coops in one run? Or do you think they would still try to pile into one?

We have two playhouses. My daughter might have to sacrifice one to become a large coop...

OK, the pictures for real this time. I have been meaning to get them up, just very busy. I have the two EE that I added to my flock and a few new attachments to the coop.

That moment when the new guy on your timeshare account calls to tell you.......he is the new guy on your account.  Asks you a bunch of questions that you don't care about the answers to and the only interesting thing said in the whole conversation is about chickens.

Chicken addict.

That's all that matters, Lemon.

That sounds like the size of my coop. Mine only sleep in it and it would be small quarters and too hot for anything but sleeping. I have 5 and I have 2 coops. You cannot put 7 in there. I have 4 in one and Primrose in the other only bec the 4 are in two pairs that don't want to be separated. The Black ones will beat up Prim at night in the coop and Prim will beat up the babies at night in the coop and they are terrified of her. You will find that they will pick their friends and coop, but I would DEFINATELY get another one. You also may need to switch them around at night depending on what you come to know about them in a coop together. There is always come drama amoung a group of girls. Lol. Also agree to wait to be sure how many you actually end up with before you buy another coop. Here are my two coops.
