Nice to meet you! Feels like I've known you forever!

I'm going to set up the second coop.

Then you will have to pen them separately. Flocks roost together. They won't split up into different coops if what you have is undersized.

Oops I forgot the link to the predator protection article. Here it is.

Thank you so much. I think I may have to reorder my phrasing, as I am only certified in the waterway restoration, trained or well-read on the rest. Information retention is my superpower, and if I am well informed it is thanks to y'all because I have learned so much from this community over the years reading the threads and suggested reading.

The prefab coop they are in now I have been told is undersized, and my two smallest girls and my roo Chimi sometimes try to go into the smaller coop they started out in on evenings I've let them free range but during the day and most evening they are still pilling on each other and have just started spreading out into the nest boxes. I have more chicken wire and t-posts if I have to make a second run, but for now I am not sure that Nightshade is a roo, so not keen to do the work yet.

I love the fluffy dinosaurs.

sounds like you'll fit in perfectly.
