    Shed for a Coop??

    Anyone made a shed a coop? Looking at buying a metal shed and just turning it into the coop, it would be much more weather resistance than a built wood one! Pictures if you have converted your would be much appreciated (:

I have already cut off the lower 2' of interior OSB all around (1' for deep litter + 1' to allow chickens to stand in the wall space and adding 7" to coop's width...

    My former shed coop

    We converted our garden shed to a coop. It had built in shelves that became roosts and a poop board filled with SweetPDZ. We added a pre-built dog run next to it and cut a pop door between the two. I wish the run was a bit larger, I think next spring we may add a second one. The coop is...

    The Vintage Nest

    I took someones trash and I turned it into my idea of a dream coop. It had to be a darling little house to look at from my kitchen window and it had to be equally as charming on the inside. It was on old old goat shed that sat out in a field in Oskaloosa Ks. It had seen better days. But...
