Kitting out a shed

[Irishhenman]

I am going to buy a shed in the next couple of weeks and I want to kit it out in cages. I also want to make the last three feet of the shed into an aviary for cockatiels and budgies. I am think I will put eight 30" square cages in, four on either side, one on top of the other (so there would be two blocks of four cages). I would then put a work bench in and some shelves for storage. The top of the cages could also be used for storage. I want some opinions and advice on my plans.
thanks

Is this for chickens?

Yes, everything but the aviary at the bottom

I'm not sure the chickens would like living in the cages.

I can see doing smaller coop like things, we just recently build one for some silkies but i don't understand the genuine caging idea, are you running a breeding/exhibition type of set-up?

Here i'll show you what we did.. this is for a flock of 5 bantam silkies it has a pop door leading to a run as well. It's inside a smaller barn/shed. I could actually do quite a few of these in here lol(insert an evil laugh) and you could stack them too, mind you the concept of the pop door would be a little trickier with the height. Off hand i couldn't tell you exact measurements but it's roomy and provides them with decent space and protection from cold/preds.

Sorry. I should have said, the chickens already have runs outside, these cages would not be a permanent home
