I have an old shed that I would like to keep chickens in. I think it once housed a horse judging by the old manure, I've attached some photos below. I am new to keeping chickens and am learning a lot. It looks pretty rough but it stays dry inside, is cool in the heat and "warm" in the cold. I would wrap the interior with chicken wire. Do I need to build a ceiling or a floor? I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas on how to convert this into a safe and happy place for some hens and a rooster.
Primarily I hope the chickens help control ticks. The eggs and educating my children would be a bonus. I live in South-East Ontario and there are certainly many predators.
