Smart way to partition space in a larger area! Would have liked more build details (was the equipment shed a complete DIY?), as well as a peak inside the coop with your heater setup. Thank you for sharing!

I built the equipment shed during Covid. It’s 24’ x 48’ in size. We get a lot of snow here and it pays to put things under cover. I just divided one of the four bays in half for the enclosure. We have about a quarter acre fenced off for a yard that should contain the chickens. We have always had a couple birds in our greenhouse for pest control, but no regular effort at a larger flock. There isn’t anything of interest inside the coop, I just bought a heater on Amazon that is hanging inside of it. I don’t it will be needed most of the time. Thanks for the post.

Thanks. It’s probably one of more expensive coops made. It’s a bay in a large equipment building engineered for our heavy snow loads and earthquakes.

There is not much less to tell. This building is a four bay equipment shed and I fenced off half of one of the bays. Basic stuff, a small coop for warmth, a light, a roost and six nest boxes.
