[Alex Broussard]

Does anyone have a nice setup for a rooster house. I'm having trouble with them fighting

How many do you have?
Are you wanting separate housing ideas for them?

Build 8 separate little coops.

that's what I want to do but they aren't free range chickens. So I don't want them to be to big. I want them to have the perfect amount of space but be pretty roomy so I'm trying to find a design

Oh Ok...
Make each coop at least 4 square feet per bird, but since they don't free range I would say make each one at least 10 square feet.
Look through these for some ideas:

Ok thank you!!! Do you think if the cages were touching and they only had chicken wire between them they would be ok?

No. Keep pens at least 6" apart. If pens butted up to each other, then divide by a partition they cannot not see each other through. I keep roosters in 4' x 4' or 4' x 5' pens for extended lengths of time.

Pen below is the low version of the 4' x 4'. I like taller pens pushing 5 feet tall.
