I found this shed on craigslist. http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/for/883776213.html

Going to take a look at it tonight for my coop.  I was going to build a shed but thought this might be easier.  What do you think of the price?  Opinions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

if you have a way to move it, it would be a VERY good deal, IMHO

Momma loves her babies!  8 cats, 45 inside birds, 3 guineas,  RIRs, BRs,  BOs ,  Lorpie girls, Golden Comets, OEGB  BBreds, bantam frizzle cochins,  3 white Silkies, EEs, some silkie/cochin mixes, silkie/frizzles, ducks (3 white Pekins, 1 buff Saxony & 1 Silver Appleyard), and 1 Blue Slate turkey who thinks she's a chicken...   (did I miss anyone?...)  Nope!  Now let's all have pie.

That will be perfect.  Good price too.  This is what I did with a plain barn shed this year.  http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/thumbs/17124_outside.jpg

We had to put a window in mine though.  Anything can be turned into a coop as long as you have light, moving air, and the necessities.  I think that little shed will be charming.
Mine is still in the works.  I think a few flowers around will warm it up.  Good luck!!

I think it works greatfor coop, but I will negotiate the price.
if they really want to get red of it they will sell it cheaper.
Good Luck.

I would too.   I got lucky and got mine from the shop class at school.  A few flaws here and there but its sturdy.  I paid $800 for mine but I know that it would have cost us more to build it.  Right place right time.   We use 1/3 for storage too.
