I just moved into this house and there's a dog run on the side of the yard.
The dog house is approximately 50"x85" and 50" at its tallest it's on a slant so a little shorter in the back. The run itself is approx 12'x50'
Would it be possible to convert this into a chicken coop/run? I know I'd need to get the house off the ground. How many chickens would it house comfortably? What type of reinforcement fencing do you suggest? There isn't really any grass growing since there's probably 4 years worth of rotting leaves in there. What should I do about that?
We're planning to get chicks in the next couple weeks so have some time to figure it all out. Thank you all!
