Hi
I'm new to the forum so hi everyone. I would like some advice.
I'm really eager to get and keep chickens but don't have enough money to buy a brandnew coop, so i've had an idea but not sure if it would work or would be suitable.
I've got a shed i don't use (6ft x 4ft) and i was thinking of using it for a chicken coop. Here's the plan:
Use a rabbit hutch inside the shed for nesting, cut a small hole from the side of the shed, put a door on it and build a run that would run the 6ft length of the shed and probably about 2ft wide. and build a couple of perches inside the shed that would run the length of the shed.
Would this be a good idea, if so how many chikens do you think i could keep in it. I'm eager to start so any advice would be brilliant.
Thanks
