Awesome modern chicken coops
Modern chickens need modern homes. Here are a few chicken coops that combine functionality with a hip cool sense of design.

They look good but they are a bit on the small side and quite expensive. Ideal for someone with limited room in their backyard, however if you are a handyman you can build a stylish coop for a lot less. Check out some more plans here http://poultrycoopsonline.com
One of the things that has helped improve the wellness of my chickens is simply by having the correct and ideal chicken waterer height. You just want to make sure that the waterer isn't too high so your chickens do not struggle when they drink water. The height should be easy for them to reach for their drinking water.

I have a modern coop also. Easy to keep clean and my hens love it. Had two wooden coops previously, but would not go back to wood now I have this one. I prefer a more traditional look over the Eglu, my friend has an eglu for her rabbits and she loves it. But I let the chickens have the whole garden in the day so didn't need a run. Mine is on http://www.littlebarncoop.com - I have it in red.
I was thinking my rabbits would enjoy these! They also need to be put away at night so the owls and other hunters don't decide to eat them.
Yes ,the are called free roaming chickens and most people let them out during the day. One night we got home too late and one of my chickens got attacked by something (not sure what it was) and I ended up paying a lot of money to get my chicken stitched up and thankfully she is still alive.
They're awful! No room to run around much less turn around. How disappointing that you would feature this story.
Chicken coops aren't meant for the chickens to 'run around' in, they are where they sleep at night. The people I know who have urban chickens let them out of the coop during the day to run around the yard. If they weren't locked up tight at night they get eaten by dogs. How disappointing that you would jump to conclusions.
