Ways you make your chicken coop creative and unique

[Kibchooks]

I know it isn't pretty!... but my coop has a draw-bridge that doubles up as a door. Is this unique? or do others have something similar?

I have to say, I LOVE your coop! The bright colors and eclectic feel are just my style. We have the same look inside our house and wanted to do something similar but a bit more neutral with our coop. Very lovely!

All I have in the current coop are some farm theme ceramic tiles as wall hangings inside, a bush outside the door and a trellis with flowers and (if they grow) sweet peas out front to hide the view from the neighbors.
The new coop I am currently building will be old barn board stained a dark colour with white trellis around the bottom. I will probably hang something on the doors, but I don't know what yet.

People love to check out our coop-they
get a kick out of the old T.V. I painted
a picture on and hung in the corner. I did
this as a joke as people thought the coop
was too nice for chickens, we now say that's
nothing they're in their watching T.V. now.

We have put a green roof (4 separate beds actually) on our coop & run. It's not completely finished but I will be posting pics when it is. We are working on finishing touches like additional paint, latches, etc. Here it is in progress:

I had bookmarked this page when I was keeping track of coop designs, some nice detailing on the coops here:

And I discovered that I should give credit where credit is due: that "real chickenhaus" is featured by one of our very own BYC'ers here:

I think a couple on that link are BYCers! We've got some real creative folks.

@Frankinchickens ~ What will you be planting in your green roofs? I love this idea! Succulents like Hens and Chicks would be quite appropriate, don't you think? I'll be watching for your finished pics!!
