A different kind of coop

[crowbar032]

Hello everyone, newbie here. New to chickens, but not to farming and other critters (goats and cattle). My girlfriend wanted chickens so here I am with some baby chicks that will eventually need a coop. I have in my possession an old 2 horse stock trailer that my Dad traded for in the 80's and then modified to have a sliding back door. It's been sitting around for awhile and is of no real use to me as I have a better trailer now. My thought is to turn it into a coop....somehow. I've googled around and browsed all over and haven't seen any pictures of a stock trailer coop. Has anyone here done one? Could you share pics? Any and all advice is welcome on this project.

All you really need is
Roosts And nest boxes, put some sort of bedding on the floor to make it easy to clean, most people use pineshavings
