I haven't gotten my chickens yet but I'm trying to get their coop set up underneath my deck. I won't have any more than 6 hens.
The eglu looks easy but so pricey! So I considered using our rubbermaid shed that we used to store our lawnmower in.(pic attached) That way it'd be easy to clean plastic and minimal cost (for customizing).
But I do have a friend that will help me build a coop from wood if I find a good design.
Any reason why the shed would be a bad idea? What alterations would it need?
