Tall Coop with Metal Roof

Originally Uploaded by Urban Hennery

This is a great example of a "high rise" coop. I love the metal roof, which will work well in stormy weather and will also provide shade. It's great how the nesting box is raised, allowing for more room beneath. Also, the tall structure provides good human headroom and the solid wood frame around the bottom will act as a barrier to potential predators, who might otherwise be able to tunnel or rip the fencing out of the ground. Note the great egg-door on the side of the nesting box. Impressive design!

Triangular (Triangle) Coop

Originally Uploaded by Chicken Wing Party of Manitoba
This little coop is a great space saver for a small backyard flock. The triangular design is great because it allows for plenty of chicken headroom. It also looks light enough to be mobile, like a chicken tractor, which allows for fresh grazing. The A-frame style of the coop itself is really quite charming!

Polish (Poland) chickens were actually first developed several hundred years ago in Holland. Originally bred for their eggs, now Polish chickens are primarily show birds because of their beautiful and unique plummage, especially their fantastic, hat-like or punk hair-like crests. Polish chickens are available in a wide variety of colors: red, buff, blue, brown laced, silver laced, black, splash, white, and marbled. Polish chickens are very docile and friendly and lay small white eggs. Because of their ornamental feathers, Polish chickens may have difficulty in extremely cold, stormy, wet, or muddy conditions and may sometimes require a crest "haircut" if the feathers begin to block their vision. Polish Crested chickens also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.
