Do you think it will be costly?

In the shed make a bench about half a foot off the floor. put straw on it. this is used for beds. on the floor put straw. itll need to be changed regularly. this is a toilet!! lol. Cut a small hole in the wall so the chickens have a way to get outside. fence off the outside portion with chicken wire (top too, weasels). it should be at least 5x5 feet. there should be no gaps in the fencing. and lastly, build (or buy) a chicken feeder and waterer, so they always have fresh food and water. they'll also need a heat supply. (lamps work well). it shouldnt be too costly if you can DIY, but may be fairly pricey to hire laborer. It is always better to have a place for them to go out at will. The meat is much more flavorful if they have access to grass to eat.

I wanted to build an outdoor shed for my kids when I came across Ryan's shed plans collection.
I've used ito to build a 8x10 shed with some modifications. Clear directions and materials list assisted me, a non-builder, in completing the shed I wanted. It's great even for a novice builder like myself!

Hi,,, no get a roll of chicken wire from Home Depot, or your farm and garden center,, not wal mart they dont carry it.. and some staples and wire cutters,, and begin to put up the wire and staple it up against the shed,,,
look up chicken coops on the internet and look at the pictures for an idea....
good luck

Have you tried opening the shed door, letting the chickens in, then letting them out again. put a purch in the shed and some straw on the floor. lock them in at night, fox's

if you modify a garden shed to house chickens you have to be really careful as there are lots af places where Red Mite can go undetected. be very careful to check everywhere on a regular basis.xx
