Which is easier to secure? One big chicken coop, or many smaller chicken coops scattered across the ranch?

Assuming square coops, four small coops have literally double the attack surface compared to one big coop of equal total area. The ratio only gets worse when you divide them up further. The impact of a breach may be less for many small coops, but breaches will happen more often as well.

So what do you suggest doing to turn it into ‘many smaller chicken coops’ and how is it more secure?
