Whereabouts are you?

3' deep with no steel in it should break up fairly easily with a sledgehammer. It's just hard work.
Two Polish blokes demolished a much larger shed base in my back garden in this way. Took them about a day. They did use a disc cutter at times but it had steel mesh in it.

Draper breaker is fairly cheap on Toolstation and looks ok from the reviews. Use it to death and return or sell on after?
Edit: probably worth hiring a full size one for a day actually

You should be fine with just a sledgehammer. Much quicker than trying to drill it. If it’s on a really solid compacted ground, sliding a breaker/crowbar under and twatting with a sledgehammer should break it up.

Got to shift a chunk of concrete base where previous owners had a henhouse. About 6’ x 2’ and maybe 3’ deep. Best option for breaking this up and getting rid? Get the biggest bit that will fit my hand drill and drill it to bits before taking a sledgehammer to it? Hire a big bastard drill? Or just pay someone to come and fuck it up for me?
