ChickenCribs - home of the best urban chicken coops

My small town has passed a by-law allowing people to keep chickens within the city limits which is great , if you like fresh eggs.  This design appears to be very timely given that this inner city farming trend is likely to persist.

- the quick and easy , self-assembly urban chicken coop

"As a landscape architect, I was interested in bringing a new aesthetic into a the urban farmscape/landscape. With the backyard as a palette, and the chickens themselves as the ultimate clients, I wanted to create a coop that was attractive, functional, and exciting. I wanted to design a sculptural coop that could be the focal point of the yard. I strived to achieved that in this design, and hope that you and your hens enjoy the ChickenCrib as much as I have enjoyed designing and crafting it."

Fly high,
