Chicken Coop Cop Car

A French artist turned an old cop car into a chicken coop.

We鈥檝e heard of some unusual chicken coops, from one to solar-powered ones to those built .  But, artist 鈥檚 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 鈥� and then fitted with wooden flooring and wrapped in chicken wire to make it a functional coop. 

What鈥檚 so clever about that, you might wonder.  InFrance, policemen are colloquially referred to as 鈥減oulets鈥� (chickens).  So the police car chicken coop, in French called 鈥淟a Voiture de Police Poulailler,鈥� is quite apt.
