Hello everyone! I'm looking into getting the Snap Lock standard size coop as a place to grow young pullets and for a quarantine coop. We have 3 chicks and two 12 week pullets that will need to use the coop overlapping for a couple of weeks, and am wondering if this coop will be large enough? It would be temporary and they would get outside playtime during the day. Our older girls are spoiled with a 7'x7' coop for only the three of them, plus a 6'x10' run, and a fenced in yard. The smaller quarters would only be for raising a couple of chicks at a time or for quarantine of any new or sick birds. I realize the description says only 3-4 full size breeds, but the pullets wouldn't be full grown while using it. Any advice? TIA :)
 
$500 is a lot of beans for a temp use item. It is your cash so do as you please. :thumbsup
If you already have the 7 x 7,,,,, You can just place a separation inside and that would also work as an integration method/process. When you see it fit to have them all together, the chickens already are used to seeing each other... remove divider.
WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,, and :highfive:
 
If it's strictly for temporary use then it should be fine. Any prefab would probably function fine that way. I recycled my old prefab into a chick brooder/isolation box.
