How big is your coop for 34 hens? Any roosters as well?

Im thinking about expanding the laying flock as well. Going to redo my coop and expand it to about 12x8. (currently it's 8x4) I also found this huge bay window someone was tossing. It's about 4'x4'. I was thinking about putting it on the south side of the coop to let light in especially in winter when the sun is so low.

My coop is 8x8 with a run and they can go underneath. I will take pics and post later. I have 3 roosters. One with the hens and two by themselves. All in the same coop for the winter.

Well like I showed I turned one of my small out buildings into a hay feeder heated water bucket feeding shed kinda thing.

My goats are out of the coop all together. They are currently all in the same goat shed they were in last winter in the pics in the link you posted.

What is different is I finished the hay shed. You can see pics of my dad and I and a family friend building it and pics im posting of in finished. The cool thing about it is the only thing I bought was the rafters. Everything else is re purposed and pallets.

Also you can see I fenced off a small spot for the two rouge roosters I have then the other part of coop is for 34 hens and a rooster.
