A chicken coop on the Tour de Coops in Portland.

Architect

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 28 August 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.

This very cool coop was designed by the fellow in the orange shirt who is an architect. The coop has a nicely shaped metal roof and lots of well placed doors for access. The sloped roof covers an inclined walk for the chickens to use to get to their run. This setup on the curb was a temporary arrangement for the tour. We'll take a closer look tomorrow.

i didn't know Frank Gehry was designing chicken coops now - i guess the economy must be bad!

I've no idea how this works?! Do they slide down that metal thing? Anyway ... interesting photo and I hope the chickens like their new home!

@Monique: The metal thing is the roof over the ramp they walk up and down.

Fascinating shot. Looks a bit like an Adventure playground for chickens!

Some really creative approaches to raising chickens in the city. Entrepreneurial venture; could be something that catches on. Thanks for the continuing well-documented series.

Ohhhh! The coop was actually designed by an architect! No small wonder it seems well thought out! I like this composition, Steve - with the observing parties looking on...and the architect's nice and easy pose :-)
