A Coop Out Of A Little Tikes Cube

[dubchickengirl]

I have a Little Tykes Cube and considering making a coop with it. Any suggestions or pics? Thank you so much.

I didn't find any coops made from little tikes cubes, but here are some made from little tikes houses.

You folks are great! Thank you so much. I am having so much fun with these chickens! I never thought I would be raising chickens!

I have a house I was thinking about using to add more chickens. It goes well with my Eglu. Anyway, what do you guys do for winter? We get snow here and while it's usually no lower than 20 degrees and snow of about 18" it's still snow and blowing snow.

They do great! I had my girls in one. I just closed up the shutters on mine. Laid a piece of corrigated plastic on the inside of the gap to keep out drafts. they did fine. The air space between the walls provides insulation. Biggest problem is ventilation. I drilled 3-1 1/2 inch holes under the roof line which did the job.

ETA--@Thinking--you will need to add a covered run for sure to give them some outside space when the weather is bad.

here's one of my chicken coops....I have a total of 5...and this one is my play skool coop

didnt have doors so we added and used fan grates from broken fans we found....added milk crates for nest, by the shelf in the house, so one under and one on the shelf....
