I've bee considering an underground coop for some time. I only have the two hens and the maximum number of fowl allowed for size of property is four. Roosters are not permitted at all in Riverside County, CA. There's differing opinions as to why, but most believe it has more to do with cock fighting than with early morning crowing.
I'm finding such fantastic ideas, designs and articles on BYC and other sites. Problem is these coops are for someone with a large flock.
I did run across this very interesting article on the Masters of Horticulture

I've seen many pictures of tunnels for chickens above ground made from different materials. This gardener decided to surround the garden with a chicken moat! I thought this may be something that I could incorporate into my overall design. My hens have plenty of space in their run, but this would give them additional roaming while I could still have a little garden.
I thought I would share this article and if someone has already done so I apologise for the repeat.

If I happen to run into any other ideas for my chicken coop I'll just add them here. I'm looking for small, really small. Just two Chickens and an Egg
