If you are tired of blah supermarket eggs, unhappy with the inhumane way factory farmed chickens are treated, scared of salmonella or just interested in keeping oine egg laying hen in your own back yard as a pet, here’s an idea for you.

No need for an ugly, ramshackle coop for your bird. Buy a Nogg  and let your chicken live serenely in high, egg producing style.

Brainchild of British designers Matthew Hayward and Nadia Turan, the Nogg takes chicken coops to a whole new level. 

Shaped like an egg, constructed of ceder with safe, fox proof locks and latches, the environemntally sound, portable, easy to clean Nogg replaces the old fashioned ramshackle coop as a home for your own personal  backyard egg producing machine.  Simple, but brilliant. Donchathink?

If you have the room and the inclination, you can order one online .

It’s a beautifully designed, environmentally friendly, easy to assemble and clean, sturdy chicken home and I love it so much, I just had to share it with you.
