Have you seen the newest chicken coop?

Wow, some genius made it out of cedar!

It's aesthetically pretty, but an impractical design.

The comment section made me want to reach through cyberspace and slap some doofuses who don't know squat about chicken raising!

Except for this one. This one was funny:

"Ridiculous design, must have been design by City People who don’t know anything about poultry. Only good feature is the Glass Dome for light. Otherwise just too small. As far as Chickens being disease carriers, what about House dogs and cats. Now that’s a dirty animal. You don’t see a Chicken licking its behind and then lick your face."

Okay, I love both cats and dogs (read my signature, for Pete's sake), but that was still pretty frickin' funny.

Does Mork and Mindy come to mind? Is that just me. Kinda silly, really.

I'm thinking Dork & Mindy...the door lying along the wall in the display leaves a bit more to design, I'd say. Too small, too hard to make functional, but cute for banties, perhaps.

These wacky designers need to have chickens before they design this stuff.

Some of those comments cracked me up!

Clearly the designers don't keep chickens themselves, but I like that someone is trying to make back yard chickens fashionable.
When I first started designing my coop, I asked an architect friend for some advice. He got really excited about the idea of an artsy, designer chicken coop made entirely of recycled materials. He came up with all kinds of crazy designs for the coop, the nesting space and the enclosed run. None of his ideas were practical, but I loved watching a grown man (and a city-boy at that) get inspired by chickens.
In the end, he donated most of the wood I used for framing, and now I send him home with 1/2 eggs each week. My DH is a city boy, too, so I'm quite forgiving.

I'd like to see what the inside looks like. Pretty bad. I like phatcats "Mork and Mindy," clever. Yea I have to agree with you all.

From what I understand it only holds 1 chicken. That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I didn't notice a price either, nor any interior pictures. What's up with that?
