Has anyone used a child's playhouse for a coop?

Has anyone transformed a child's playhouse (hard plastic ones...not wooden) into a coop for a few chickens? If so, would you please post your pics so I can see your transformations??

The coop section has lots of them. I am not that great at the search thing, but you might try a search here on BYC for "playhouse coop" too.

Good luck!

You got me thinking, and here's one. On that note, we reused our kids tree house (survived when the tree was cut down)for a coop. They wouldn't use it because of the spiders, but the chickens love them. Just makes it interesting when i have to crawl into it to clean it.

I love this idea! I found one on this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=498186

Hope it helps!

We have turned a playhouse into a coop. It is about 3x5 - but tall. I am almost 6 ft tall and can stand up in it. We took advantage of the height and have built levels with roosts on the top. The floor is open. The nesting boxes are suspended about 1 foot off the ground. It works great for our seven chickens. But we feel this is the max. We may knock down a wall and add an addition as we want to include more breeds in the future. I say go for it!
