Could i turn this shed into a chicken coop?

One advantage of steel however is that it is more vermin/predator resistant

^truth
I caught a rodent in a resin storage container once - chewed out in less than an hour.​

Never had any issues with rodents. We got city sewer rats, talk about honking big things! We have three resin sheds and they never bothered them but they sure did chew the heck out of the neighbor's wooden shed LOL! Next door neighbor across the street also have a resin shed, not a bite.

The only time the rats would do is to chew on the bottom of the foundation, which it was wood and I didn't layered with hardware wire. (my fault!).

Rat poison took care of them. I could not believe how many piebald colored rats I saw than the ugly brownish gray rats I've seen.

Why not metal....well look at the Morton buildings.....they are made of steel and I bet if you can "copy cat" the way they insulate the walls, vents and all that stuff they do, I bet you can make a go of it! However it will cost you more in the long run.

I may have a solution. I don't know how familiar you are with craigslist but many time people have old sheds the would like to sell. WOOD sheds. Which can be easily modified at a fraction of the price of buying a brand new wood shed. Just an idea, and my goat barn is metal and i've regretted it ever since, hot in summer, cold in winter, my chicken coop are wood and are so much cooler and warmer, they are very hardy but would be more comfortable with wood. Just a thought. My main coop is made out of my child hood tree house we just cut down. Didn;t have to do anything but put a chicken door and nest boxes
