Possible coop? (Pics)

[joanm]

This is an old dog house sitting at my neighbors house. He told me I could have it. What do you think, can I turn this into a new coop? Any suggestions? It is 4ft to the peak and about 3 1/2' wide.

I think it would be nice. I think it would be good with a second floor. I wonder if you can take the front off and put it back with hinges so you could open it up

Yes, that'll work nicely! Put a roost in the back, maybe a nest box added to the side, a nice door with a hole covered with screen or hardware cloth that you could put a piece of plexiglass on for winter so you could lock em up tight. Then they just need the big screen tv with surround sound.....

Good God, what kind of dog lived in there??!! Really, you might consider putting it up on some legs so you don't break your back cleaning it and collecting eggs!!

thats kind of like what I did, I use it for adolecents and broodies with their babies. Mine isn't very secure so thy always come in at night but I am sure you could make it so it is permanant.
