DH has a veteran friend who lives in Portland whose wife is taken with the idea of backyard chickens. So far, so good...
They live in an upscale neighborhood and the wife wants a very fancy coop for her allowed three hens. She selected the 2010 Metrocoop. Here's the product description:
Over the last several years, weve worked with many of our valued chicken keeping customers and some very talented local designers and architects to develop the Pistils MetroCoop. This modern, modular coop is not only highly functional for ease of egg harvesting, clean-out, etc. (and customizable) but its sure to make an attractive architectural statement in any backyard.
standard footprint: approx. 11 x 5 (ideal for 3-5 hens) / critter-proofed, walk-in aviary with full-sized door / exterior cedar construction for extended durability / large henhouse doors for ease of clean-out / egg harvesting hatch on henhouse exterior / multiple perches and nesting boxes / decorative woven wire / approx. $4,000, dependent on features
More of us need to get into the high-end coop-building business!
