Opinions on this coop?

We have a shed on our property that could be converted to a coop I think, but with the position that the barn was built I think it could be hard to do the run properly. But would this be a suitable coop? View attachment 2490639

Yes! That looks like it could be a fantastic start to a really nice coop!

Noted. Than you.

I wouldn’t put that much chickens as suggested. The mini is more suited to bantam breeds. I would do only 4 large fowl for mini. Anything beyond that limit look like recipe for disaster.

Okay. Maybe too many pictures, lol, but pictures! It is probably 100 ft from the house at least so I’m not sure about running electric out there. I’m not great with American standard system but my guess is 6 ft wide, 12 ft long and 8 ft to the roof. Roof is metal...small vents on each side. Not sure what other info would be helpful.

I think chickens and 2-3 goats could coexist happily in here - and as long as you build a big outdoor run - they should get along.

Could easily be made into a very nice coop

Hi! We’re planning on starting our chicken coop this weekend and hoping for an a frame style tractor. I like these plans:

but hubs is having trouble swallowing the price tag. Are there any similar plans anyone knows of that will accommodate 15-20 chickens? This is our first coop btw so if anyone sees anything we’re not consider...we really appreciate everyone’s feedback an opinion!

Sorry to be back in this post again, but I’m wondering about the best course of action for the flooring. It’s completely dirt flooring. As far as I can tell at least. What do I do for litter and keeping it clean? I had considered a deep litter/deep bedding method but I am not sure if that’d work with the dirt floors?
