Barn!! I bought a 48 ft. refridgerated unit a couple months ago. My plan is to have about 15-20 different runs, on both sides, then in the inside I will have cages on the walls with a little door cut in the wall leading to a run. I also plan to have my brooders, broody boxes, and everything else out there. At the moment, I have hutches, and coops everywhere! It would be so nice to have everything in one spot.

So glad I asked, I am convinced I would be wasting my time and money by purchasing multiple coops, and I showed hubby this thread so I don't even have to plead my case to him. Thank you all very much, and I still love hearing the pros and cons of coops and barns.

I'd prefer the larger building, but it will probably cost more to build than the smaller ones due to needing larger material for the roof
