    Converting Suncast Modernist shed to coop, progress pics

    Hello, thanks to advice on this forum, I decided to convert a 6x5 resin shed rather than purchase a very expensive prefab coop (I was budgeting for the Eglu Pro - even with all the materials and extras, my shed coop was less than half the price!) It has been very fun customizing it and planning...

    Old Shed Conversion???

    I don't have any pictures yet, but we are buying a house that has an old shed just behind the garage. It looks like it was built as a workshop or a small barn, and the flooring is solid 2x4's all the way across. Does that need bedding put down? Should I cover the 2x4s? It only has 1 window...

    What do you guys think of this shed conversion?? 10x12, gabled roof; pics inside

    So this bit of cuteness is sitting on a lot near us and I want more chickens. My notions of chicken keeping has changed *dramatically* from when I began in May. Now I want a walk-in shed. The tractor idea is GREAT but not for me and my needs. So I can get this adorable bit of shed and make...

    My New Coop's Renovation!

    Hi! I figured I'd post the pictures of my new coop that we've been making since July. I wanted to combine my ducks, bantams and big hens into one bigger coop. It's been quite the upgrade, and lots of research has been done. They had a 4'x4' coop with a 6'x8' run, but now they have a 7.3'x7.8'...

    Pro/con shed conversion

    Hello friends! I’ve seen some people have converted sheds into coops and that got me wondering… what are the pros and cons of this method? And what would I need to do to convert it? I know you’d need to add ventilation and hardware cloth the windows. Nest boxes added. I would also insulate it...

    Shed conversion

    So I found a 10x10 shed free on Facebook. (The guy thought nobody would be able to get it through his gate as his gate was "8 ft wide". Turns out he didn't measure it. We ended up with two inches of clearance. Rolled in out on 6in PVC) This is our progress so far. I waterproofed the...

It’s in really good shape, no apparent entry points for critters, has a plywood floor, and a locking double door. Do I still need a predator apron? I do plan on putting a 2’ apron on the separate run. As for...

    Another Rubbermaid Shed Conversion Coop

    My backyard is sandwiched between a treeline to the east, and my house on the west, so it's very heavily shaded... so much so that even shade tolerant grass barely even grows. After wanting chickens for years, and many of those years spent trying to convince my husband that we NEEDED to move to...
