Chicken Coop Cop Car
A French artist turned an old cop car into a chicken coop.
We’ve heard of some unusual chicken coops, from one to solar-powered ones to those built . But, artist ’s twist on a home for hens may be the cleverest yet. Bendetto, whose other quirky art installations include a and a , repurposed a French cop car from the 1970s for the project.
The auto was gutted except for a few interior elements - like the steering wheel and clutch – and then fitted with wooden flooring and wrapped in chicken wire to make it a functional coop.
What’s so clever about that, you might wonder. InFrance, policemen are colloquially referred to as “poulets” (chickens). So the police car chicken coop, in French called “La Voiture de Police Poulailler,” is quite apt.
