Could this be a coop?

[watchdogps]

maybe I'm crazy and seeing chicken housing everywhere I look...but this looks like it could be a good chicken house with some modifications...

Food grade could not see why it would not work.....Just need to vent it.

Talk about easy spring cleaning. Just open the bottom valve and hose.

Sure is nice with a roof, venting and door. Though $75 is out of my 'free' price range. We used a playhouse for our first coop and now grow out area. It was put on a tractor and now has a floor when in use.

It look like an interesting challenge. How would you ever get into it to clean or retrieve eggs? I looks like it has metal framing all the way around.

I have one of those totes, and have not yet had an EUREKA!! moment on how to change it to a coop. The metal frame would make it extra difficult. I have thought to seperate the frame form tote, and use the frame for a tractor, with extra hardware cloth added. Use teh plastic tote as a small coop, with some major cutting renos.... I just can't figure it out, though, so I have been using my tote for rain water.

IF you firgure this in to a coop, PLEASE post some instructions!
