Should you sterilize your coop before adding new chickens to the flock?

Should you sterilize a coop even if all the chickens are healthy?

Welcome to BYC :frow I ditto Kiki's remarks. It sounds like your tractor will give you the look but don't touch option however getting them all to roost in one coop may turn out to be problematic later. Our staggered flock has cliques and some need to be manually moved nightly. Others have differing roosting requirements and I have kept neither of your breeds to advise you in any way.

Thanks for the info. Yea I will try to integrate them by keeping the chicken tractor near the coop for a few weeks
