A converted shed is a very good solution if you have the space. But there are more in between possibilities between that and the Omlet. Solutions that aren’t expensive at all too.

If you gave doubt about the Omlet extension or the Nestera look at this idea:
I bought a children’s playhouse (article) and converted it to a coop. If you put a playhouse on a frame to obtain a good hight, with an area underneath for a food station and shade its a nice solution. Converting it was not a difficult project and you can place it at a more convenient spot.

Okay, this is sending me down a rabbit hole in the best way. Thank you! I was looking at converting a dog house at one point, but this has better overhead space.

Also, fun story (which I'm praying doesn't offend anyone): I had a shed like this when I was 6 years-old... so 1989? My mom painted it white and then let me decorate the exterior with colorful hand paints. She was in a rock band at the time, and they had started to practice The Beatle's "Back in the U.S.S.R.", so I decided to name my shed the "U.S.S.R. Club" in giant red letters. My mother was mortified, but all the adults had a good laugh before forcing me to paint over and rename it. Hey, I'm 6 years-old. I don't understand world politics. The song was just catchy!
