Andreas Stavropoulos is a landscape architect and owner of Chicken Cribs. He designed this flat-pack plywood chicken coop to be easy to ship, assemble and move. A plastic roof helps keep hens dry and sturdy wire mesh lets waste out without letting predators in.
Chicken Cribs' coops have a roost area for up to three chickens, are stylish, modern, and are available unpainted or in a number of colors. They're great for urban chickens and because once assembled, the units are easy to move and chickens can be relocated around the yard or garden to help distribute droppings as fertilizer.
