Hey, Internet, it’s been a while. How are you? Good? I’m glad. Remember when I talked about keeping chickens in your backyard? Well, take a look at this. That’s right, Internet, fancy, high-design chicken coops for the sophisticated farmer. I am a huge architecture nerd, Internet, so I can’t completely write this off in the way that I can write off designer dog clothes. I gotta admit I like seeing a little thought put into chicken coops. I like the Frederik Roije one that looks like steps and appears to be lit from the inside (is this normal? I think that’s strange) and I like that the Mitchell Snyder one is a DIY project. Building a chicken coop yourself is great, building a chicken coop yourself from a thoughtful and excellent design you came up with yourself is the greatest. Also, I have decided that I want to raise chickens in a coop made to look like a miniature Coop Himmelblau design because I think that would be hilarious.
Okay, so most of these designs are a bit silly. Building a sleek, modern chicken coop isn’t going to make for happier chickens, or more eggs, or anything, really. But why the heck not? Put a little thought into it, make your chicken coop look cool. In fact, make it the coolest-looking thing in your yard and point it out to everyone who comes to your house.
