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.
