Still haven’t found the chicken coop design that you want to have in your backyard? Then how about this old West hotel-inspired chicken coop?
It’s called the Eggcelsior! And as its name implies, it’s one of the finest accommodations your chickens can ever live in!
Though it looks like an expensive five-star hotel, this DIY chicken coop was built mostly with reclaimed timber and it does not use electricity. It has plenty of windows for good ventilation and it features a skylight for natural lighting!
The Eggcelsior has now been updated with an adjacent building which the proprietors call ‘The Broken Yolk’. It serves as the chickens ‘watering hole’, or if you prefer, the saloon!
Take a quick tour of it now by viewing our album below! :)
