Although she and her family wanted chickens, Cassie Ward also wanted a coop that was as low maintenance as possible. As a mother and an elementary school teacher, she didn't have a ton of time to devote to these little creatures. As a result, she created a henhouse with two large doors that swing open, allowing for cleaning at waist level. Nesting boxes open out into a nook that's easy for collecting eggs, and a deep bedding system means she needs to completely clean out the coop only a few times a year.
