New to the forum and new to the world of chickens. Hoping to get a few chickens this spring. I'm also hoping to fix up an old chicken coop that has been on our property for years (we've been using it for storage). It would be greatly appreciated if those of you who are knoweledgeable in the area of coops could help me decide if the coop can be fixed or if I should start over and either buy or build a new one.
Here is a view of the front.
It appears there is a cutout for where a door/ramp once was. A board has been screwed in across the bottom half of it. And obviously if I were to use this coop, that hole in the lower right hand corner would have to be fixed.
A closer look at that hole
A view of the front again, and the area that would be turned into the run. Please excuse the mess. Been doing a bit of spring cleaning and things are a bit out of place outside.
A good sized walk through door. I believe that I would definitely need to modify this. The gap towards the bottom of the door concerns me greatly. I see a determined raccoon, or fox being able to get in.
The backside.
And a couple shots of the inside. All of that junk will be cleared out shortly, and I will take some better pictures.
