Yes and NO...My birds get moved around depending on the seasons. Right now the breeding pen side go4es as follows
BLRW's-outside to the Summer Coop starting April 1st-Dec1st-then inside for winter
SPlit lav silkies-inside all year with a playpen out side in grass on weekends-supervised
White ameraucanas in 3rd pen-they are only 7 weeks old now so they are in all Winter
4th big pen-Silver Laced Brahmas that are now combined with my BLR brahmas and BLRW hen-and maran hens-for the Winter

Once Spring comes all those pens get emptied out into their Summer coops:) I sterilize those indoor pens as much as I can and then use them for growout pens all Spring Summer and Fall:)

I have another photo somewhere that shows it a tad better

Breeding pens on one side-then the other half fenced off for my egg layers and supervised freerangers
We're hoping that by next Winter the side opposite of breeding pens we can have 4 more pens just like Henthymes:) Thats our plan that way I can empty out ALL other coops and consolodate all birds into barn for Winter!! MUCH EASIER if we can get the right air flow and circulation going...
 
We too have two large outdoor pens for summer. Currently being used as housing for the goats for the winter while all the birds are inside under one roof for their benefit and ours.

This side is done and birds are moved in. The back is 1/2 complete. I will post pics when it is done.
Now I have to decide who gets a coop.....no coop, then ya have to go.

And the brown chipmunk colored one with tuffs jumped ship too and moved in with the sizzles & silkies I hatched from emvickery.
