Little Tikes playhouse coop

[Carol Abe]

Anyone use a little tikes playhouse as a chicken coop ?
I was thinking of hardware cloth on the windows, washer and screw bolt walls and roof together. I like having easy cleanup.

It might work.

I do not, but I can definitely see how the ability to hose out the coop would be appealing! Let us know how it goes if you do give it a shot. Us BYC'ers looooove pictures!

They can work.....but very small, so only 2-3-4 birds at most.

Yes, thats bad

I have four birds living in mine. I can't see having any more than that.

I just got 2 used playhouses from a neighbor. There's another thread on BYC that I just bumped. Looks like it depends on whether the girls use it just to sleep / lay or hang out in it. Also if you put the nesting boxes on the outside.
@Carol Abe Did you do this? Any pix?

@blksabbath Your setup is really cute! How did you finish that pop door on the side?
