Living Roof Chicken Coop

The 4 foot insulated modern chicken coop is topped with a living roof a bed of native sedum plants which helps keep the hens cool and comfortable. The rooftop is waterproofed and a roof shaped planter box is constructed. If your roof is sloped then some old fashioned chicken wire and moss help to secure everything into place.

Living roof chicken coop.

Words research design by renee davies dean of engineering construction and infrastructure at auckland s unitec. Building a chicken coop with a living roof is a way to keep chickens cool during summer. With these roofs all you do is add soil plantings and water. Before galvanized roofing became widely available most coops seemed to have either fancy shingle roofs or lowly tar paper roofs.

I ve never built a structure using any of these so i can t provide details. Asphalt shingles cedar shakes roll roofing built up roofing etc. The coop is made of cedar and has a green roof basically a pool liner with some strategic drains some coconut husk dirt mixture and a bunch of sedums. Drainage is also taken into consideration.

Any kind of real roofing will work fine in a chicken coop. You can view more of debra s photos on her flickr stream and visit her blog bee s nest. I planted hens and chicks on top for a little insider humor debra miller.
