Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to have my very own pet chicken. Obviously, like most animals, they come with a lot of responsibility — like searching through chicken coop designs to find the perfect fit for your own home.
Unfortunately, I don't think my landlords would appreciate me installing any of the delightful options below in the middle of my New York City apartment. Still, I can't help but look into all the adorable choices for my (hopeful) future home with a backyard full of chicks clucking away someday.
It's probably a good thing I have plenty of time to make that decision, though, since there are so many great chicken coop designs to choose from — as you can see below!
