What’s the name of your coop?

Thanks! I'm quite fond of it myself!

I found one like it on Amazon, so I'm going to get one.

The Coop.
When I was building it, it was 'the money pit.'

Ft. Happy Nests is the unofficial name of our place (we're not commercial, so it's just what I call it in my head, you understand). The building where the chickens actually sleep I call the hen house, because I was informed when I had it built that it was not a "coop," which rhymes with "cook," not with "hoop." A coop, I was told, is a small cage along the lines of a cat carrier or dog crate that you throw in the back of your pickumup truck to transport chickens from your house to the neighbors' to trade for hound puppies or whatever. I had to learn a whole new language when I moved here. Incidentally, the sun is not yellow here in the evening, it is blood red, which is why Superman is from here. Seriously. Metropolis is in Missouri. Look it up.

Im going to start calling mine either the chicksion (chicken mansion) or some other name. But one of my relatives that helped me build it calls it the hunting shack.

Thanks! I teach British Literature, so my friend made me this coop sign. It is my favorite gift EVER. She even upcycled materials because she knows that's a favorite hobby of mine.

Possibly a regional thing? A coop (pronounced to rhyme with hoop) is a building for chickens to live in. Also known as a hen house but that is rarely used around here.

A small cage for transporting chickens is a crate. Or a chicken crate. Or a poultry crate. Or a poultry shipping crate.

We had a couple like this wooden one and one like this plastic one only ours was yellow.
