Thanks for the input! I was thinking of getting one off facebook marketplace but my brother has one that he doesn’t use anymore, so we just might convert that. And you’re right about it being flimsy against tropical storms! Not too long ago we were having some pretty bad storms and it held up pretty well though. I think if we anchor it down right it would be fine. Any suggestions on how to keep it from deteriorating over time? Thank you so muchWelcome to BYC.
It's been done. Size is a limiting factor at 4 square feet per chicken. Also sturdiness over time.
I personally wouldn't buy one new for the purpose but wouldn't hesitate to convert one that was given to me or cost me only a few bucks at a yard sale.
Even more than here, in Florida you'd want to anchor it very firmly against tropical storm winds.
cool i think that sounds goodI was thinking about making a coop out of a kids playhouse. They’re pretty cheap, large and have a lot of windows(i’m from florida so my coop needs lots of air). I’m thinking all I would have to do is put in some nesting boxes, wire screens, and some perches. Is this a common thing to do and would it be a good idea? thx
Thanks!
Hopefully when i start I could document it here. It should be a short process. If we decide to use my brothers playhouse i’ll upload a picture here. Thank you!!
That’s a pretty good idea! I’m definitely gonna look into that. Thank you!!
