Do all coop's have to be pretty?

Your big chicken Barn is a classic.

Your coop is really great! Love the windows

Mine is the old concrete hoghouse

If they have to be pretty, I'm sunk.

I love those doors.. I could see a wood shingle siding to go with it and it would be eye candy

Coups only have to be functional, keep the girls dry and sheltered..

Here's one of my beauties...was already here, repaired the rear wall.

Yes, they do, and unless you get your siding on soon, we shall have to come and tear down your coop.
Your official, local, PRETTY-COOP POLICE.
BTW, we are not above taking a bribe.

I think your coop is lovely...all it needs is painting to bring all the different elements together.
regarding your question as to if it "has" to be prettý >>> I think this is crucial in the stiuation of backyard flocks in residential (non-ag) areas... you will find if you make the effort to make it "pretty" then you will run less risk of complaints from your neighbors.

I think so as well... any eye pleasing structure adds value rather than detracts. Vital in todays economics

I still like the idea of a wood shingle type.. look at these

now this is going on that you want to make it pretty.. OH yea and it is YOUR coop LOL but your existing doors brought these to mind. LOL but like the pp said paint would work too.. (also more economical) mine is not pretty but it at least matches the shed.. now I do have some extra trim laying around
