Chicken coop ideas farmhouse

We converted an old shed on our property into a chicken coop with an attached run. It was quite the process, as nothing in the shed was even close to being square or level. Our farmhouse was built in 1832, and I’m not sure exactly how old the shed is, but as you can see from the “before” pictures it’s pretty old and absolutely charming!

**Located in Washington State (cooler, rainy state)**. A plastic garden storage shed can be a great alternative when building a chicken coop. It lasts longer than wooden coops, is easy to clean, and can be a cheaper option than some coops that are on the market. Cut a hole and add a run for outdoor space if free range isn't an option. During warm weather we leave the doors open. 3 years and it's been perfect so far. Pictured, 7x7 storage shed.

Thank you to my customers who share their pictures from their new chicken coop and run builds. Great job!
