My 12 laying pullets are in a 6 x 7 shed that I converted into a coop. I've been worrying about how to add onto the shed to accomodate the 14 chicks that are in my brooder next month when they turn 8 weeks old.
I wanted a way to build a wing onto my shed with a run below it that would be closed off from the big coop and run, until they are ready to be integrated.
I saw these boxed kits at a local building supply. The kit has all the hardware and instructions, then you buy the lumber in whatever size you want.
I like this design because I could enclose the bottom in hardware cloth for a run. I can make a door and ramp.in the floor of the top part. I can leave the walls as open mesh for hot days and make plywood panel walls to close it up with for winter. What do you think of it?
I don't know how to frame and build a shed without something like this to guide me.
