Just bought this gutted old camper off FB marketplace and would love some input on a coop conversion. My main question is: how much venting should I add, if any? The camper is 8’ x 12’. We have 8 chickens (to start). Windows in the front and back can crack open (I will replace traditional...

Hi friends! I’m looking for some guidance and help with our next coop!! We live in southwest Michigan - our summers can get in the 90°+F and our winters can get below 0°F. We have the option for our next coop to be either a typical coop built with lumber (like a shed) OR to repurpose a camper...

I went down the rabbit hole of coops made from pull campers, small c class rvs, pick up bed campers last night and at lunch today. Lots of cheap ones around here. 1/2 the price of a shed for the cheapest. I couldn’t find any cautions about going this route. Are there any special...

So...now that I am almost on break from college I am going full speed ahead with moving my flock into a larger, safer space. I was going to use an old garden shed, but one of my friends suggested a camper. BRILLIANT. Its on wheels!!! No flatbed involved. Apparently people around here have...

So this is our chicken coop. It's a 32' long camper trailer, gutted and turned into a chicken palace :) We have about 70 birds who are happy to pay their room and board with abundant eggs. 15 Australorp hens and 1 rooster "Big Boy" 2-yrs-old, one RIR rooster "Old Red" 5-yrs-old (the only one...

Has anyone ever remodeled a camper into a coop? Thinking about building a new coop and I really am considering a camper coop. If anyone has done one, any tips or pictures.

I have an old camper (it just needs a little cosmetic TLC to be useable) that I won't use. It is already hooked up to the other electrical box on my property. I am seriously considering giving it to the chickens just so they can have the a/c since this summer is so bad. It's supposed to be...

Got an old camper shell for $10 bucks and couldn't figure what to do with it. This is the first little project completed. Finally getting my girls outside (wife is happy lol). Plan to add a run next and eventually add on another 4 feet of building. Egg box will go in the back where the glass...

I have 7 young birds (6 weeks) and plan to build a coop for them .have an old camper shell I got $5 I want to use . My question is: if I raise the shell above the ground ~3ft and put a floor on it will there be enough room for the girls to roost comfortably? If the shell is enclosed it's only...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on converting a camper into a coop/garden shed. I've got nine (still!) silver and gold Wyandotte chicks, and the coop we ordered won't work in our yard. We've got a lot of straight winds that have torn off the roof of our porch, and have relocated...

...old camper? It's already insulated and big enough for the little guys and way cheaper. MY question to you guys is what do you think? a camper coop conversion? Would it be warm enough for them in the winter months? It has the ceiling wind up vent and lots of windows that fold open so I think...

We are getting an older 26 foot travel trailer that has leaked to use for a coop! The leak was found and sealed and I am going to clean up any mold I find from where it leaked. I am looking for any tips or advice from any one that has used a camper for a coop before. I have a bunch of leftover...

I'm FINALLY getting my RV in the next week, I'm so excited. Once it's gutted, I'm coating the inside with Blackjack #57. Best part is, I got it for free. It was sitting on the deer lease next to ours, and I finally caught the guy that owns it. Asked him where he got it, and if he still uses it...

So, I have too many chickens.... Chicken math yay lol.... This started as a joke between the DH and I, when earlier this year, this gal: Started doing THIS in our camper, which got me in trouble with the DH lol, for letting her.... So we started locking the camper, and now she does THIS...

When I was trying to design my coop, I decided to use an old truck bed camper that I had. In my search for examples, i found quite a few descriptions of how people had converted truck bed campers into coops, but I had a hard time finding pictures of them. I'm a very visual person, so I thought I...

Hey every one, i am going to be getting 20 red star chicks soon and i have been debating on a coop. I really don't have too much money on building a coop and i was wondering if i could use an old camper that we have as one. I live in northeast ohio which is right in the middle of the snow belt ...

Hi everyone, This is my first post and I really enjoy seeing everyone"s ideas on chicken keeping. I just got 10 day old barred rocks and have them in a brooder now, they are doing great. I have an old pickup camper that I was going to junk but got the idea it might make a good coop. I am...

I have never raised chickens before and decided that I wanted to give it a go. After searching for coops online I was shocked at the prices for new coops. I just finished remodeling my house and had a lot of building materials left over. My Daddy also had an old truck camper top that had been...

Hello, all! The folks on these forums are always so helpful, I thought I would post this here for suggestions/opinions. We have four chicks around eight weeks old that are outside in a coop that will eventually be too small for them once they're grown up. We're looking for inexpensive coop...
