"An Egg Today is Better Than a Hen Tomorrow": Part IV The Coop

So you've figured out that you can have chickens.  The neighbors say "ok", you found the breed you want...now where to put them.  Well, this all depends: obviously if you live in the country, you will have a lot more options due to more space available; so for the sake of this blog and people like myself who will most likely live in more urban environments, I have found some ideas for the urban chicken coop.

Backyardchickens.com has some wondeful coop ideas for small, medium, and large coops.

- This lovely yellow coop includes the plans, dimensions, and a step-by-step photo arrangement of how to make this exactly. 

- This amazingly charming and detailed coop even has a built in little pen for the chickens to scratch around in. 

- If you want something a bit more utilitarian without the frills (but still very nice to look at), then this one might be more to your taste.

 Unfortunately, I do not know how this one was made, but it's pretty amazing.

Take a look around their site, seriously.  There are tons of amazing chicken coop ideas for all types of yards and budgets.
