So eggcited! Coop plans in place

[KCGirl]

Based on what I've learned here (thank you all for the education) converting a wood shed, which will be here in less than 2 weeks!

Windows, vents, hardware cloth, etc all set. Roosting area, nesting boxes, solar fans, check! I have seen varying opinions on flooring (vinyl but avoid moisture) and wall covers (paint/paper/raw wood.)

We're in the midwest, so rain, snow, cold, heat...and where we are, crazy direction changing winds! Of course I picture something pretty, dainty, lovely, and special inside the home. And then they are going to poo all over it. Where would you focus expense and time? Walls or floor?

Many thanks!

Will this be a she-shed or a utilitarian chicken coop??

there are 11 hens, about 9 weeks old this week. The shed is 8x6, and the run will be 6×20.I'd like food and treat storage In the shed, but no plans to add a chair, pictures, sound system - sHE Shed niceties. Should also add a light.
