Miss Millies Chicken Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Yes you read subject line right The following article was in my local newspaper this week http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/City-banker-build-150K-chicken-coop-Forest-Dean/story-16989430-detail/story.html I'm not going to line the poop trays with this newspaper. Just in case the girls catch a glimpse of the headlines and start demanding a more palatial home to keep up with the neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Can't see him with a tubtrug and poop scoop - presumably he'll have staff for that, wonder if they'll live in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackian Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 What a waste if like my girls they have two coups and two nesting boxes and all squash up huddled in one I think the article I read said they had a room per chicken..poor , lonely chickens. Probably have live in staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Gosh, that's a lot of money to spend on a coop that will be very quickly pooped all over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakjon-98 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Surely they'd be happier in a field, is he going to let them out? I was wondering the same thing That thing is going to be hard to clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopingforchickens Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I was wondering the same thing That thing is going to be hard to clean! but he won't have to do it so he won't have thought of that - am I being too judgemental, maybe he's a mad chicken enthusiast who will be doing it all himself...

Miss Millies Chicken Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've had a look at the original planning application for the house. It was for 20 birds to provide meat and produce for Eastbach Court a listed building. The land on which the coop is to be sited was purchased about the time of the planning application. Its possible that some of the £150k quoted by the newspapers is for building costs and land purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
