Hello all, I'm a newbie. I posted earlier today about putting a run under my pool deck, and also ideas for a coop. The feedback I received was that I should consider a different plan altogether. So...
I have a 7'x7' Rubbermaid storage shed, next to the deck I want to put a run under. I could, in theory, cut a pop door for the hens, add more ventilation to the shed, and use it as a chicken coop for my 6 chicks-soon-to-be-chickens. Here is a photo of the shed. It's about 40' from my house. It is in full sun, so not ideal, but there is plenty of shade under the deck next to it. It will be sheltered from wind from 2 sides, but exposed on the other 2. I know this shed is currently poorly ventilated, so I'll need to remedy that. Thoughts?
