21) Urban Chicken Coop
This is a chic and classy chicken coop made for the urban farmer. This is a permanent chicken coop and hen house which can only house two or three chickens at a time. It is placed inside a large fence as you can see and is made from strong and sturdy lumber and some wooden pallets.
Inside this chicken palace are all the things chickens need to feel comfortable. The hen house is tall and airy. It has a built-in heater, a ventilation unit and enough space for every chicken to feel comfortable and safe.
There are three openings to access different parts of the hen house/coop. A small square-shaped opening is for the chickens to come in and out of in case it’s raining or too hot outside. The birds will be walking inside using a long and wide makeshift ladder. A very large door is for the farmer to access the inside of the hen house in case he has to clean and get eggs. A smaller door is found at the bottom part of the hen house and this is where the bottom is accessed to sweep away chicken poop.
This is heaven for any chicken and truly a good design to follow. You will need a weekend to complete this design because you need to construct the hen house from scratch.
