A Creative Chicken Coop is Half the Fun of Having Chickens

I can sure appreciate the dedication and effort involved to create this coop from scratch.  It’s lovely, creative, and more than suitable to accommodate chickens. Keeping chickens for many is a hobby, it should be just as fun watching them as it is caring for them. This is where the coop plays such an important role in chicken keeping. It needs to be a place you want to be too.
Putting your signature on a coop will turn the ordinary into a unique image of your personality.  New isn’t always better, a coop just needs to be functional, style comes from the touch of caring hands and love.
Not sure about the “low cost” of this DIY coop, but use your imagination…  we can all find scrap materials that would add a little dazzle to our chicken coops! I like the plants inside, nice touch!

Chicken Coop Shed

Chicken Coop Shed Conversion

There are a million ideas for chicken coops, but I like to think out of the box and be creative. Not a fan of store-bought chicken coops, they are often cheaply made and almost always too small. I like roomy coops, definitely not something I have to crawl around on my knees to clean! It’s also nice to not worry about the chickens when it’s pouring rain or during inclement weather, so here’s a great solution.

Just a suggestion, I would use hardware cloth instead of chicken wire. Sparrows can fit through chicken wire, and there’s no good reason to feed expensive chicken feed to wild birds. Chicken wire is also not suitable for predator-proofing.
A hole could easily be cut on the side to install a door that could access a run. Sheds can be insulated, are draft-free, and windows are an option too. Overall, sheds can make a great coop if you’re willing to put in a little effort.
