Great article! I'm only on my first year of keeping chickens, so forgive my ignorance. How do you get the chickens into their perspective coops at night? It seems like they have free range during the day. Do you ever have trouble with hens all wanting to use the same coop?

Hi there. I have a coop that can house 2-4 bantams, but I want to add standards to my very small flock. I'd like to add another coop and have it share the run with the original.
