I bought a prefab coop in September for my flock of 4. It suits them fine, but I want to expand my flock to 12 in the fall, so I am researching ideas for something larger now.
I have found this resin shed at home depot -
I would cut a pop door in the side, remove the plexiglass door windows and replace with hardware cloth, and add 2 of these roof vents which are supposed to be quite good at moving air -
There is a gable vent on the back side of this shed, which I could enlarge or duplicate on the front side.
I would add roosts and nesting boxes inside. It's 49 sq ft, so 4 sq ft per bird. I do have a large run but I don't confine the hens to the run, they can roam wherever they please (in the fenced in yard).
Thoughts?
