Art of the Chicken Coop

Keeping chickens -- even for city dwellers -- is a trend that just keeps on growing.



With this book, today's modern farmer will find plans, step-by-step photos, and construction techniques for making seven very different coops.



The coops have distinctive designs and a range of footprints. Some have wheels, some have attached runs.



* Sunny Side Up (easy access nest box)



* Chicken Condo (multi-level coop with a small footprint)



* Simply Salvaged (rustic board-and-batten siding on this 3-level)



* Rustic Sophistication (fish scale shingles and a front porch for Victorian class)



* Little Big Barn (low design to create easy access for children)



* Gypsy Hen Caravan (whimsical nomadic coop on wheels)



* How the Chicken Crossed the Road (movable coop on wheels that makes cleanup easy)



Farm-raised and established author, Chris Gleason's hip eye for design, combined with sound woodworking techniques; make the coops both attractive and sturdy. Practical information such as how to properly size a coop and how to source reclaimed materials is included.
