"Invisible" coop-need a small scale, year round henhouse

[mourninglory]

That's a good idea, barg. At least there would be warning from the NHA to take it down. If they still keep hearing the chickens, just say it's like a favorite song stuck in your head!

I appreciate the ideas and suggestions.
I dont think the neighbors will be a big problem, they are all nice enough folks, but I am aiming at having a set up that is on a noise and appearance level with aht they have going on in their backyards. One neighbor has two Yorkies, the other side has a Dane/Setter mix, and right in back of us is some sort of mutt, plus there is an in ground pool (Id rather have dogs all around me than a teen ager's pool party any time) plus across the street there are two boxers in one house, another has a yellow Lab and what looks like a rabbit hutch in their back yard.
Id really like to end up with a set up that appears to be a big rabbit hutch. If there is minimal noise and no odor, then a couple hens are no more disturbing than a dog, and from what Ive heard some chickens are quieter than some dogs!

Look at www.critter-cages.com

The same people who make the chickNBarn make the ChickNHutch - it looks like a large rabbit hutch, is close to the ground and has a pen that attaches right on the hutch available.

It would be OK for a couple of chickens, especially if you are in a warm location. (I can't remember if it said...)
