Matt and I finished our last two chicken coops for the book, designed and built in Oakland, Calif. Interested in owning a piece of history? Check them out at our friend Maurice's urban chicken farm oasis on Mandela Parkway @ 11th Street, West Oakland.
The Simple Coop features reclaimed redwood siding and a rusty sheet metal shed roof. It is built to accomodate standard home insulation so this coop would do well in an extreme climate, hot or cold.
The Nordic style A-Frame is sleet, snow, hail, and sun resistant.
Each coop's footprint is 4-feet by 4-feet and will house three or four chickens. Priced to move at $750 each, we will deliver within reason in the Bay Area.

Thanks for your interest in our work.

The first exhibit may be called “simple”, but that sure is an efficient coop. I mean, with a simple collection of sidings and some sheet metal for the roof, the structure has almost become the same as the houses we have today. If I owned something like that, I’d paint it with a coating that can help it cope with any weather condition, just to make it more efficient and long-lasting.
ReplyDeleteFor the a-frame style coop is there a roosting bar in there? If so, how does it work?
