Has anyone got any pictures of the inside of a shed they have fitted out for a chicken house?
I have a few ideas as i have just done one for my Guinea Pigs at the weekend.
Thanks to anyone who can post any pictures :)

Craig, I'm sure there are loads of pictures on here somewhere, sadly when I had my hens in a shed I never took any photos of it  ::). The good thing with using a shed is that you can convert it to whichever way suits you best (like a blank canvas).
I know hillfooter recently put some pictures of the insides of one of his Forsham arks showing how the perches are arranged which might help you.  The only thing I would suggest is that you make the perches removeable so you can take them out and treat for redmite easily  :).
The height of your perches will also depend on the breeds of birds you have, some heavy breeds do not cope with them being too high and can injure themselves when jumping down.
I never bothered with external nest boxes but used large plastic linbins (the type of things found in workshops and garages) and again these could be taken out and washed easily  :D. If using these or something similar then do not place them under the perches as they have no lids on and the droppings will contaminate the nest boxes. Or you could place a shelf over the top of them which could be handy for storing their medicines etc.
Staffies are softer than you think.
