My best friend, Jean Benelli, has a very busy house. She has a daycare, 4 dogs, 5 cats, and chickens. If you drive by her house you’ll see all the kids and animals running around her large front yard, but what will really capture your attention is Jean’s chicken coop.
Her coop has a name, The Chicken Chapel. It is a coop with stain glass windows, chandalier, frescos, tin stars on the ceiling and a stain glass steeple that lights up. The stain glass windows tell the birth story of Christ with the symbolic use of chickens as Christ and the wisemen. Using the rooster as the symbol of Christ is historically based. Inside the ceiling is painted blue, and covered with tin stars. The iron chandalier has ceramic chickens as subsitute for the lights.
It is probably better if you just see it for yourself……
