Great, tall chicken coop with fenced run, complete with window flower boxes. It's convenient to have a coop this tall, as you can enter it comfortably to collect eggs and clean. Sign on the door says, "Ladies".

This is the perfect size for a few chickens in the backyard. The builder was wise to raise the coop and run off of the ground. It also looks very sturdy and predator resistant.

This fantastic chicken coop was built from wood found on the beach. Great example of recycling! Note that it is raised off of the ground, which is a good way to keep dampness and pests out.
