Decided Not to Renovate Coop... Decided to Renovate SHED! :D...Advice?

[PepsNick]

As some of you know, I was going to renovate my largest coop this coming summer. Well a friend just offered to give me this old shed that would be a PERFECT chicken coop! It is 10 x 6 and that will be enough room for ll my chickens and a few more!! It is tan colored, in GREAT shape, has one 3x3 window in the front, a big door on one side, and a small vent on the other side.

Here's what I'll be changing about it:

- Add 3 windows along the upped back
- Add some more small close-able ventilation windows along top in front and back
- Add row of 6 nest boxes and access to them along the lower back
- DECORATE!
- add bedding, feed and water, duh
- Add recycled roosts
- Add poop board and outside access to it.
- Add Light bulb (not heat lamp, just think it could use some more light

Alright... here we go! Chicken addiction, here I come! With this coop I'll have a dozen chickens in it, plus THREE MORE SPARE COOPS!! Anything I should change or add? Advice welcome.

What about predator protection?

It'll be completely predator proof. My chickens live in a completely predator proof on now, too. The shed will be wooden, and the run will be 9 inched underground with a wooden outline, "9" underground, and with a hardware cloth roof.


Predators I have to worry about:

- saw a raccoon here in the neighborhood 4 years ago.

the end!
