Is this a plastic storage shed? Looks simple to set up. How well does it perform?

These folks managed the multilevel coop (like thing) pretty well. chickens will walk all the way down to ground floor to go outside.

Had anyone accomplished a working multilevel coop/grower pen?
I saw some tables in a store that were raised and had two table tops and was thinking if you sat one on top of the other and wired it!!!
So for make at home was thinking along the lines of a sheet of plywood size, raised with 2*4s approx 2 feet high in each section. If there were 4 sections above ground level, could potentially make runs for each level separated.

Any input, ideas, suggestions???

We had a converted garden shed and attached run. The chickens didn’t really utilize the space and slept outside on the ground! This spring my hubby built this coop and run and they LOVE it and roost and lay egg “upstairs”. They’re up and down that ramp all day. It took them only minutes to learn to use it because I used scratch grains to lure them down it.

I built an 8 foot high coop, and used the upstairs for guineas and divided the downstairs for 2 different breeds. It was 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. The guineas came and went into the run through a window.

People have said their chickens will roost up in the rafters of a barn, and others have chickens that roost in trees for the night, so I imagine the higher space that you give them, they will certainly use it, whether they walk up a ramp or hop-fly to the higher regions.

Just realized the thread is from 2009 so probably the images are gone from whatever site or host site they used.
