Foxy Modern Hen Houses For Urban Chickens
February 9, 2011 by Robin Plaskoff Horton
City chicks listen up: you too can roost in style. Described by its designers, Matthew Hayward and Nadia Turan, as “a stylish & sculptural piece of garden furniture with breakfast thrown in,” the nogg is a modern chicken coop designed to encourage domestic urban farming while adding elegance to your—and 2-4 hens—space.
Engineered and crafted by hand in the UK, the nogg is made from strong cedar wood which imparts a fresh scent and is also naturally antibacterial.
Oh wow! This coop has a skylight!
This coop lets your hens live in comfort while affording them a view of the stars through its skylight, which also automatically twists and lifts for ventilation. Its stainless steel trimming, locks & fasteners, and elevated glass dome add a contemporary flair while offering safety and durabilty.
The nogg weathers naturally and comes with a removable base tray for easy cleaning. Fresh eggs in the morning are accessed through a large, easy to open hatch door. And it’s a moveable feast: Comes with a hidden portable wheel system.
Approximately 4 feet in diameter. According to the developers, the product is “still hatching,” But you can email them for more info.

that’s just the coolest hen house I’ve ever seen! I’m sure there must be a Modern Hen in my yard that would truly die for one : ) Annie

Sharon–I know, I would love to have a human-scale version of this for my own property! It would make great guest quarters!

Beautiful to look at, but as housing for real chickens? No. I really wonder whether the designers have ever seen a live chicken, much less raised or kept any.

That is so stylish and the skylight so important for keeping the hens laying, and great it opens for ventilation. I wonder what the inside looks like!
