Help me turn this old shed into a coop!

[TwistedSerpent]

So this old garden shed is going to be turned into a coop. It needs a lot of work but I think once done it will be very nice. My hopes are to free range them but building a run wont be difficult. It definatly has to be cleaned out of all the junk in it first, I do think I'm going to keep the makeshift shelving in there for roosts/nest boxes. There's a hole in one of the corners where some creature burrowed in but I havent seen anything about.

Any recommendations before I start?

the front-

The side, where the chicken door will most likely be

The back, its sheeted with tin for some reason

And inside-

possibly where the old windows are try to rig it so that you could open or close them to regulate ventilation.... goodluck

I'm in Montana, so dry, a few months of tolerable hot, then more months of cold. The shed has that one tin side, I think some tin lining the inside and a tin roof, it holds heat very well.

The mystery bag is full of baling twine, I'm sorry not very exciting. The window is actually screened and opens. Its definatly a home built shed but its so solid and little thinks like a screened window tell that it was made with some talent.

You definitely want to read this page (if you haven't already) to see how much more ventilation you'll need. It's a wonderful resource: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=1642-VENTILATION
