Play House to Coop :)

Post by IWantChickens20 »

)app( Son,and I are done.
We found a play house at a thrift store for 20$
we had some material and only had to buy cinder blocks,and ply wood, and 4 cans of spray paint.

The Cinder blocks and ply wood is when we know it is going to rain we can sit the play house up on it so the girls will not be in mud :)
1 coat of paint, we painted it white left blue roof,and painted make shif door from scrap ply wood and shutters red

put in pvc pipe to perch on,and added nesting boxes

Here is it totally finished :)

Nothing fancy but we Love it )app( :D

Great.
I think it's a good idea to have it up on the blocks as it gives the hens a bit of shade if it's sunny, shelter if wet.

Hi iwantchickens,

Hooray, I've waited for someone to put a picture of a converted Wendy House (sorry if I've missed one anybody).

Excellent, easy to clean and quirky with it.

Pretty little house for your chooks, looking forward to seeing some pics of your girls in their lovely new home :-D

love it ! just think how easy it will be to clean, you can just get the hose pipe on it if you ever need to.
50 shades of...what ? sorry Mr Grey, I'd rather read a B & Q paint colours catalogue.
