I searched here for coop ideas when we expanded our flock and needed a bigger coop. I thought I would share some pictures of what we came up with. We bought an 8'x10' metal shed from Lowe's, and built a solid wood platform for it, which we covered with a sheet of vinyl flooring . We added a window and four screened vents, we also have plans for more vents on the other two sides. We cut out a small door in the side that leads to the chicken run, we framed the door and added 2 locks on the outside for extra security! Today we finished some screen doors for keeping the coop airy during the day. Finally, we added top and bottom locks to the large sliding doors. Hopefully these pictures will be helpful in giving others coop ideas.
