    Old Shed Conversion???

    I don't have any pictures yet, but we are buying a house that has an old shed just behind the garage. It looks like it was built as a workshop or a small barn, and the flooring is solid 2x4's all the way across. Does that need bedding put down? Should I cover the 2x4s? It only has 1 window...

    My New Coop! (Picture Heavy!)

    Hi! We have recently been refurbishing a coop we've bought, that was already a shed converted into a coop, albeit, not a very good one. Our shed-cum-chicken coop needed a lot of work when we bought it, and still needs some improvements, such as increasing ventilation. We've replaced our old...

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    Hi! I figured I'd post the pictures of my new coop that we've been making since July. I wanted to combine my ducks, bantams and big hens into one bigger coop. It's been quite the upgrade, and lots of research has been done. They had a 4'x4' coop with a 6'x8' run, but now they have a 7.3'x7.8'...

    Shed Conversion Coop and Narrow Run for an Urban Backyard

    Forty years ago, when I took care of an African Grey parrot for a year, I fell in love with birds. So chickens! Why not chickens! I'm only one generation away from the farm. With chickens eggs would be nice, but it was the idea of chicken company and chicken antics that really drew me. Here's...

    Can I convert this into a chicken coop?

    Hi all, New to this site, I wonder if anyone could tell me if this is a good idea or bad? We have this old tree house, it isn't being used, it is well insulated and can have power fed to it from the sheds below ( which we use for storage) . Would this work as a chicken coop/ hen house if I...

For reference I am soon to have 15 new chicks and this shed is 16x16. I am new to all of this and I am scared to ask/ don’t feel comfortable asking...

    Disabled/Can’t Build—Local Prebuilt or Shed Conversion?

    Hello all, I’m in eastern Oklahoma preparing for 10-15 chickens late next spring. (Gardening zone 7a if that helps any.) I am able to perform the daily care and find some help if needed for deep litter coop clean outs, but I don’t have the physical ability to build a coop due to disability...

    New Coop- 10x16 Shed Conversion

    So after 4.5 years, I’m finally a chicken owner again! I lost all of my hens and my coop during Hurricane Harvey. I was not going to replace anything, but when the opportunity to purchase lavender Orpingtons arose, I just had to do it. So my husband and I spent the better part of this weekend...

    Coop math + potential shed conversion

    Hello, Chicken People! :) So, I'm either doing this wrong, or every single pre-made coop you can buy wants you to pen your chickens in like large sardines in a tiny can. Help! And thank you, all, for contributing and building such an incredible resource. FYI, we live in Los Angeles, California...

    Work in Progress - My Chicken Coops, Shed Conversion and Duck Run

    Last spring we lived in a town that wouldn't let us put a shed on our 1 acre lot because we already had a detached garage. Chickens... forget it! So fast forward to August of the same year and in the midst of a move to a place that suited us better, we found ourselves the proud owner of some...

    Turning shed into coop

    Hey all! We are turning our shed into a coop for our girls next weekend and wondered if anyone has had experience or advice to offer. We are adding a door on the side and a window in the back. Other than that is there anything else we should add?

    Run In Barn to Coop

    So we are hoping to convert half of our run in to a coop. The other half we use for storage for our wheelbarrow, mower etc. Apparently the only photos I have of it on my phone (currently at work) also have my horses in it blocking most of the view so hopefully you can peer past them, LOL. We...

    Existing Lean to Shed has metal siding and roofing

    What do you guys think? It is there, it is 8x24' covered in metal siding. Dark inside -- it was used to store firewood. It looks like chicken housing to me. Dirt floor. It is a lean-to built on the workshop of a house we are looking to buy. I think I want to remove the siding on the south side...
