I managed to pick this up at Ikea today for $25 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70141172 I was inspired by the rabbit hutch turned coop. I thought I could mount it on 4x4 legs, cut a hole in the floor for a ladder down into the run area, use the large front space for a door frame covered in chicken wire to clean out the coop, and the smaller space I'd mount a nesting box with a lid that opens. I'll add a slant to the top sides to put a roof. Add a roosting pole. I thought I'd add a vent to the space above the nesting box, and I'll need plastic sheeting to go over the door in the winter. We're on the east coast, so winters get cold. Will this work? Am I missing anything???? TIA
