6. Gypsy Daydream Chicken House
This has to be one of the most beautiful chicken coops ever built! It is another coop you can purchase, and you can even order a fully customized design. Up to fifteen hens can live comfortably in this little wagon.
You can purchase these amazing coops at Flytes of Fancy which is located in the UK.
7. Rocket Coop
Who says that chicken coops need to be old-fashioned? This one is built to resemble a retro-futurist rocket. It looks awesome just as it is, but I imagine with the right finish or paint job it could look even more phenomenal.
Which is Your Favorite Custom Chicken Coop?
While all of the above are pretty amazing, our personal favorite is the Gypsy Daydream Chicken House.
We may have been somewhat influenced by the idyllic setting as the pretty hen house sits in a field of daisies and daffodils, but there are also some great design features worth noting.
We love the fact that it is a mobile hen house – this provides flexibility for both the chickens and any landscaping or gardening you may want to do. It also has steerable wheels, detachable nest-boxes and can be custom painted by their in-house artist!
We hope you enjoyed these super cool coops. And remember, building or buying an amazing chicken coop doesn’t have to be expensive.
You can take elements from any individual design and still stay within your own budget depending on the materials & labor used. And now you have plenty of inspiration for your own!
