So I am cleaning out the turkey coop finally as they got butchered a few weeks ago.
Any ideas?

I’d insulate it and put a small fire box or heater.

It will probably do for a starter. Won’t be long and you will want something bigger, especially if you are using it for both traps and skinning. You will definitely need a heat source.

I wouldn't use it for traps or skinning until I put a real floor in it. Wood or cement. Then it could be a useful space IMO.

If you are going to put slot of work into insulation and heat spend a little more and build the size you need for trap storage and skinning. Keep that one for the turkeys.

Nothing wrong with using it as it is after its cleaned out. That way after a season or so you will know what you want in one you can build.

Used carpet over the wood is best. You can pick it up off a curb somewhere or ask a carpet installer to save you some. You can roll it up and dispose of it in the spring. If you don't burn the place down with a wood stove. lol

As I read the posts it will be a temporary usage for trapping related venues as the turkeys come back each spring. To me that means minimum floor options or a desire to do so. Also a trap shed is more of a year round storage type need. Fur handling, skinning, fleshing, drying etc. is not but to dry fur one would need to have temps above 60, preferably 65 and that means heat and maybe insulation to keep those costs down. It appears there is electric there so that means it has potential.
