Chickens Living in Style..



Here is a chicken coop designed by architect Mitchell Snyder for a Portland couple. The couple wanted the chickens to be an extension of their garden and is constructed with reclaimed cedar. It also has a "living roof" planted with sedum.  This isn't the most unique or "sustainable" coop I've ever seen, but I felt like it was a really appropriate coop for the average person. There are still people who are going to view keeping chickens as "dirty", but with a coop like this it provides a certain sophistication to the concept that I think many people would be more apt to accept.
