Couple Builds UFO-Themed Chicken Coop

BOISE, ID (CBS) - There's a chicken coop in Idaho that has attracted more than a million views on Facebook.

That's pretty good for a chicken coop. At least part of the reason is that the chicken coop is out of this world.

A couple from Boise designed the UFO-themed chicken coop over the summer, complete with flashing lights.

They say it took a little while to actually build the thing.

"We kinda brainstormed how we were going to build that classic shape, and the first discussion was out of wood, but we really wanted something a little bit more curvy so we decided that satellite dishes were going to be perfect for what we needed," said owner Ellen DeAngelis.

The couple says the coop is climate-controlled, and they plan to add an automated ramp to their creation.

The chickens seem to love it.
