Here's a link for my shed to coop transformation....post 36 has the finished pics on it. It is a 12x16 shed.

And here I added a predator proof kennel to it and I close that in for the winter months so they have an addition 12x20 area to play in and dustbathe, etc.

My shed is mostly chicken coop, but just to show you how I did the separation.....

This is the view from when I walk in....it is separate into a bantam side and a standard side.

Standard side with nest box that opens into "my side"...

Pop door to outside for the standards, connect to a run.

my shed is divided into three
two for chickens and one for storage

i dont seem to have a dust problem although i have good ventilation
ive got two grain sealed drums and a few bags of other stuff on a wooden frame with a bed base sitting above the frame
the dust fallls maily thru the wire onto my dusty floor\\

i would recomend it

i would but a cloth over the lawn mower or something like that but our lawnmower is in our dusty shed and does no harm

Mississipi FB,

OH MY GAWD, I love your barn!!! I have a thing for old barns, you did an amazing job on it!

I would love to see how you set up your compost, I am working on a new set up now, since you are WAY more clever than what I can do, I would love to get ideas. We mix compost, chicken, horse, cow, rabbit and the of course scraps.

But seriously, what an amazing barn!

Thanks, I'll get some pictures of the compost bins as soon as this darn snow melts. I've got a few more pictures of the inside of the barn/coop I'm posting later tonight.
