Some chickens have such amazing owners that we’re jealous! Their owners treat them like VIP (Very Important Poultry) and build them eggstravagant coops that look like something from the pages of a children’s fairytale.
To show you all the eggcellent places that you could be living in if you were a chicken, Bored Panda has compiled this clucktastic collection of creative coops for you to enjoy. Remember to upvote your fave pics but beware—make sure your own fashion chickens don’t see them or they’ll want to live in their own stylish (and costly) wonderland!
Building a chicken coop is much more involved than nailing together a few two-by-fours and calling it a day. If you want things to be up to fluff, there are some things to keep in mind. For instance, your coop ought to be in the shade (like underneath a tree) to keep it cool in the Summer.

I just want to know what cost per egg is when your chickens live in a castle?

oh, that looks like from fairy tale. In Slavic fairy tales witches live in cottage set on chicken or magpie leg.

Looks like Baba Yaga Russian folk tale about a cabin in the forest with chicken feet.
Ann E. Stratton writes in This Old House that elevating the chickens’ nesting area a couple of feet off the ground helps keep your flock’s feet dry when it rains and floods.
Now, we all know that the exterior means a lot (wouldn’t you want to look at something beautiful every time you glance at your yard?).
But it’s the inside that your chickens will be enjoying, too! Hens are quite picky and need around 16 hours of natural or artificial light each day to sustain their egg-laying.

Best of all, during the wee hours it takes off and "collects" additional chicken for you (and their former owners are never believed).

Those jokes should keep the "poachers" away. Just "scrambling" some ideas in my head for a witty comment........., no, seem to have eggshausted every possibility. Ah well, keep your "sunny side up" just keep smiling and don't be such a "hard boiled" grouch. (Please accept my apologies for some really bad humour!)

Love all of these!!what chick n wouldn't want to live in these masterpieces!! 🤗💜😍🐥💨🎆🎉
So it’s very important that the inside of your coop has enough light to keep your chickens content through Autumn and Winter. However, get some light bulbs that cast a warm glow like the Sun because bluish light won’t trigger your hens to lay eggs.
Also, when building your magnificent coop, don’t forget to install vents to keep the air circulating but without causing a draft.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Would make a great cubby-house for kids. I love the name, too! Chanticleer (pronunced "Shonticlear") comes from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The Chanticleer is a proud and fierce rooster who dominates the barnyard. "For crowing there was not his equal in all the land. His voice was merrier than the merry organ that plays in church, and his crowing from his resting place was more trustworthy than a clock. His comb was redder than fine coral and turreted like a castle wall, his bill was black and shone like a jet, and his legs and toes were like azure. His nails were whiter than the lily and his feathers were like burnished gold."

they can lay many more eggs on the inside than they can on the outside ;)
Finally, keep in mind that certain other woodland animals might get jealous of your fashion chickens’ stylish coop and may try to chicknap your hens.
Nocturnal animals like foxes, raccoons, and opossums are known to this, so get some metal latches for your coop that these naughty critters can’t open with a flick of the paw.
Form or function? Why pick just one? The perfect creative chicken coop has both!

It feels a itsy-bitsy scary... like an abandoned house in the woods inhabited by spooky things... On the other hand: chickens CAN be spooky occasionally...

I wonder if they place such an interesting chandelier in a hen coop, what they have in their own house.

You will be able to see chicken poop on white washed walls very well. So if you wanna keep up a white appearance good luck with cleaning every day.

Actually, that's pretty realistic. Buses carrying kids are usually crowded and hot.

That's what I thought when I saw this. Even if that bottom floor is solid, a weasel could get through those spaces, and a determined Trash Panda could probably tear through the screen.

There's a ramp for the fowl to go lay their eggs, but I don't see an access for the owner to gather them.

Next they can teach them to put the eggs in the box every morning for pickup.

Yes, I've heard of a 'chicken tractor' which is a movable pen that you can move around the yard.

I have chickens. Half of the above homes are impossible to clean.. And you need to clean well or you get mites and the smell of chickens is terrible. Although I guess if you don't have neighbors it doesn't really matter (I live in the city)
