Do all coop's have to be pretty?

In reply to edster951 post and picture.

Hmmmm welll we could always start "the ugliest coop contest"

Sorry that is just butt ugly. But thanks for showing that not all coops are pretty, that's for sure. I don't think it is preditor safe either, but I really don't think you were serious when you posted the pic. Thanks for the laugh.

On the original posts--
I agree that anything you do, you should do the best one can. Pride of ownership shows up in many ways. Happy healthy safe chickens that live to lay another day.
I am definitely one that prefers a pretty BUT SAFE coop. To the point of planting the surrounding area and dressing it up to fit into ones home environment.

Well if you have a sense of humor as the person that posted it obviously does. Come on lighten up. Some times people do things to bring laughter... SOme things are as that was butt ugly and I think the poster knows this already, thus why the pic was posted to begin with.

I do not think the girls will mind at all. As long as they are safe, warm and well fed and given treats....they are happy.

I think with some paint and such it will be a beautiful coop. Well done. I especially love the price!

I just spotted this thread and i must say that i think those coops are GREAT. I absolutely LOVE the way people create their own special coops. You are not giving yourself enough credit.

I also think it depends on where you live. In my area, ours looks "cute" and is clutter free. But if in the country where few people live, oh well. People have a stereotype about people who keep chickens, and thats why all the zoning laws occur.

Country backyards don't have to be like urban backyards. I wholeheartedly agree that in town you should be presentable.

Low budget, no neighbors; protect the birds.

I thought about an ugly coop contest/thread but see that I don't even have a chance.
