Chicken Co op for the urban farmer $3500

[calista]

I imagine the buyers of these two totally ridiculous (IMHO) coops will be uttering more four-letter words than "poop" when the reality of keeping chickens in such small spaces sets in -- jeez!

I usually applaud any effort by coop designers to reach the masses AND the elite so that more people will take up the hobby, but it looks like no follow-up with actual chickens in residence was attempted.

I feel bad for the chickens who have to live in that thing. They don't have enough space, and they are owned by stupid pretentious people.

Whoever buys something like that won't be worrying about the chickens because they will be paying someone else taking care of them.

Two words RIP OFF.
I will not pay a penny for companies try to take advantage of people.

A fool and his money will soon be parted.....as my grandpa used to say.

Where are the chickens supposed to eat and drink? Is there a little Starbucks around the corner?

And that London egg...normally I pooh-pooh folks who panic about cedar, and I swear by cedar shavings, but even I don't shut a chicken up in a tiny windowless solid cedar egg-thingy. Can't they suffocate a chicken for cheaper than that?

Oh, here's the website for the "nogg": http://www.nogg.co/

Four chickens, one vent on top. Costs GBP 1,950. That doesn't include a run! It was designed by a furniture designer

There is nothing on the site about actual customers with actual chickens.

OK, I'm taking orders now at the special discount price of only $3350.
