A custom, American-made chicken coop has been installed at the historic Naval Observatory, the official residence of Vice President JD Vance.
To respect the heritage of the site, the coop was designed to match the architectural elements of the historic facility, a spokesperson for the vice president told Fox News Digital.
A source familiar with the project noted the coop was built at no cost to American taxpayers.
The coop was crafted by Carolina Coops, an American-owned, family-operated small business that has spent the last 18 years handcrafting premium chicken coops in the U.S.
Founded in 2008 by Matt and Gnon DuBoise, the company began as a personal quest for fresh eggs and grew into a globally recognized business known for its craftsmanship, woodworking and animal care.

“...Since the mid-20th century,”
As I understand it, the shift occurred much sooner. John Adams, the first VP wanted to preside over and be a real part of the Senate, but the Senators weren’t particularly fond of him and they changed the rules to greatly restrict his powers and participation. Then, as now, he only can vote to make or break a tie vote.

We have had a chicken coop. The chickens eat all the weeds and bugs out of the yard and lay eggs that are way more tasty and nutritious than store bought. The chickens are great pets and enormously entertaining.

Early on in us keeping a small flock of (free range when practical) chickens, my daughter named them all.
Omelet, Scramble, Stew (a rooster), etc...

Maybe they can have a link to a chicken coop cam for people to watch the chickens. Not sure if that will happen for security reasons.
