Currently have my chicks in the small coop was wondering when should I transfer them to a bigger one ? Also any recommendations on a coop for 4 chickens ?
One of them has learned to fly so figured it could be time ? I’m not sure how old they are , I bought them from TSC… they are probably about 6-8 weeks.
 
At 6-8 weeks they should be out already.

For 4 chickens you're looking at 16 sq ft coop and 40 sq ft run at bare minimum, but more is always better. 4 linear ft of roost and ventilation will depend on climate, but at minimum you'd want around 4 sq ft in vents 24/7. The small coops section: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/categories/small-coops.18/ should have plenty of ideas for a smaller flock.
