City-Friendly Chicken Coops

The Front Yard Coop Makes Urban Farming a Snap

— September 16, 2011 — Eco
Fresh eggs are a luxury most urbanites have never experienced. Now, thanks to the Front Yard Coop, you too can have farm-fresh eggs available right outside your front door. With the economy in the toilet and genetically modified foods becoming commonplace in the marketplace, it's no surprise that urban farming has become an attractive alternative to the norm for more and more families. The company Front Yard Coop makes chicken tending easy with this product, which bears the same name.

This solar-powered chicken coop knows more about chicken rearing than Ol' MacDonald himself. The intuitive piece of equipment moves automatically through the day ensuring that your flock gets the appropriate amount of exercise and fresh forage, while your lawn benefits from an even sprinkling of beneficial manure. The coop also dispenses food and water for your feathered friends. Simply fill the food and water tank and watch the eggs roll in. Enjoy fresh eggs from your yard with the revolutionary Front Yard Coop.
