my friend justin let us borrow his chic "omelet" coop (which is made in switzerland i think) for some chickens we were gonna be getting in on the condition that i help him build a small condo for the chickens he would soon be getting in. so we burned a saturday together building this beautiful thing. it will house 20 or so chickens and the simple design is a corrugated metal shell over a 2x4 frame on top of a treated 4x4 base. an ample percentage of the $170 material cost went into two beefy casters that will make it possible to rotate the coop around their backyard that'll keep killing grass to a minimum. so justin got a lot of bang for his buck, the chickens got a nice pad and i got a couple of free meals at the chappell hill diner and a sweet farmer tan.

killer coop, man! but now i've realized that that chicks prefer to sleep under it instead of in it. should only take one coyote attack to teach them a lesson. thanks again for all the help! much love, friend.
