Multiple Coops - is it sloppy looking? Show your pics!

I was just reading about other coops and designs. We have 1 4 x 8, 1 - 8 x 8 and 1 little tractor. I kinda went wild this year with chicks so I am going to need more coop space. I would love to build one BIG coop, ya know like 15 x 30 - DREAMING! But may have to settle for setting up another little one. I am going to go out now and take a few pics of the current set up. Anyone have photos of your set ups? The worst part is that I just built a exterior nest box and haven't even finished painting it yet.

BRB with pics....

Ok - here is one with our three coops. The one on the left is the largest (for the layers), in the middle in now the Juvie coop (30 - 5 wk olds) and the little tractor has our broody Cochin and her 4 babies.

I don't have multiple coops, I have one old chicken coop, 25 by 50, broken up into 8 (so far) individual coops inside, with attached outside runs for each of the individual coops inside the big coop. I am trying to keep roosters that belong with hens together with small exceptions on some of the extra breed hens. Alot of my original chickens came from a local auction where I was bidding against a kill buyer. My personal issue, I buy peoples pets at auction and take them home to keep them safe.

ANYWAY, I now have 10 chicks in the brooder, two ducklings in the brooder and 30 chicken eggs in the incubator and 4 goose eggs in an incubator...

LONG story short, in my humble opinion, there is no such thing as a chicken coop big enough...

That is the problem here - I have the outside ones full and 25 meaties in the brooder on the porch. They do have a coop to go into, I am almost done making a cattle panel hoop tractor for them. Just need to put the door and tarp on. Geeze, that'll be 4 coops.

I need a BIG building. Heres hoping the barn fairy comes to my home and builds me a nice barn for our feathered friends. Maybe, I'll just be extra nice to DH and he'll build me one.
