This Is What a $100,000 Chicken Coop Looks Like

Neiman Marcus
For the one-percenter who wants her feathered friends to live as elegantly as she does, Neiman Marcus offers the Heritage Hen Mini Farm. Price tag: $$$,000. 

The coop was inspired by (what else?) Versailles, taking its design cues from the Louis XV-era Petit Trianon chateau. In addition to cushy rooms for nesting and roosting, the multi-level dwelling comes with a chandelier and a small library stocked with books on gardening and raising chickens — you know, in case you want to read up on those subjects while tending to the hens. 

"There's a growing trend with backyard chicken keeping, and certainly you don't need to have farming in your background or even know how to farm in order to appreciate this gift," said Svetlana Simon, cofounder (with husband Marty) of the company behind the luxury coop.

The hen house is basically a fancy starter kit for keeping chickens: It includes three to ten heritage-breed hens selected to thrive in the buyer's region, and Simon personally provides an on-site consultation, plus two additional property visits as needed. Custom-designed raised vegetable or herb garden beds are also part of the installation. 

Neiman Marcus promises to donate $,000 to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that protects endangered farm animals from extinction, for every coop purchase. 

Don't feel like shelling out a hundred grand? These DIY coops are just as cute and customizable.
