Multiple Free Range Coops

[psrumors]

We are thinking of having several mobile coops. The chickens will be free range. The question is, if we do this, will they go back to their respective coops or will they try to all squezze into one coop?

I want mobile coops so I can pull them up to wated for clean out and pull them off into different directions of the property.

I think they'll go wherever they want.

that is what I figure....I just dont want to have 75 chickens trying to get into a coop built for 25...talking about a mess

Maybe you could build one LARGE coop, and then a smaller isolation coop with an attached run (for sick or new chickies). I wish mine could free range, but there are coons, opossums, cats, hawks and dogs licking their lips when I have supervised roams outside the run with them, imagine if I turned my back!
