We have been looking for a place on our new farm to put my chicken coop.. We keep going back and forth about where to put it, if we should build a coop or buy a building and just doing a really good run around it.. Well, We have a "building" (I use that loosely) that is a metal roof (great condition) being held up by 4x4 in good shape, on a 6" cement slab. There are no walls! It's about 100ft from the house, about 25 ft from our smallest garden spot... It has trees on two sides-for our hot summer sun... The only thing I can see that might cause a problem is the floor is slanted front to back.. I don't really think it would matter because I use the deep litter method, yr round.. I could just pile for shavings to the back.. It was used to house feeder pigs about 30yrs ago.. That's why it is slanted==easy wash down..
Do you see any problem w/ a slanted floor? I just think, I can have a coop twice as large as I have now, for a few 2x4's, windows, a door (which we have on hand) and we would need to buy siding... What do you think??? Thanks
