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.

My mom pulled the same stunt on me and my two brothers.
Well, everyone knows that food comes from a supermarket....
“...Since the mid-20th century,”
i also have a custom, American-made chicken coop in my back yard
Heck, they have pigs roaming roaming the U.S. Capitol as we speak.
Naming your food is not a good idea.
Is this like the presidential dogs that were little more than focus group tested photo props??
I don't think so. He got the chicken coop at least 2 months ago. It went public when WaPo went after him.
SOME DO-GOODER WILL DEMAND THAT IT BE TURNED OVER TO HOMELESS
TODAY’S HR LEADERS ARE PUTTING ANY APPLICANT RAISED ON A FARM OR A RANCH AT THE TOP OF ANY OPEN LIST OF POSITIONS.
THEY ALREADY KNOW RESPONSIBILITY
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.
Eating from the Public Trough! LOL!
He’s still a Hillbilly.
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...
The lines in “Welcome To The LBJ Ranch” when Lady Bird Johnson is asked about their dogs are hilarious!!!
“SOME DO-GOODER WILL DEMAND THAT IT BE TURNED OVER TO HOMELESS”
My money is on them demanding it be made into a Mosque. *SMIRK*
😅
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.
I’ll bet, ‘Over Easy’ was the most popular girl with the Roosters, LOL!
This is making me miss the days when I raised laying hens on a rather large (for me) scale. This was in the 90’s, LONG before everyone and their brother kept chickens.
My farm had an old coop that we cleaned out and painted and re-organized. I started with my first ‘flock’ of 50 chicks from Murray Mc Murray Hatchery out of Iowa. They came through the mail in a box, and you had to go to the Main Post Office to pick them up.
So, once these ladies were established, I started selling eggs. I sold to ‘Steve’s Liquor and Deli’ which was on my way to work, for convenience sake.
I had those clear egg cartons and nice labeling ‘Cage Free’ ‘Organic’ ‘Hand Raised’and each carton was tied with a raffia ribbon bow.
CLASSY!
I sold them to Steve’s for $2.50 a dozen and they sold them for $5 a dozen and the customers were screaming for more!
It was a fun venture. It didn’t make me a millionaire, but it was a great learning tool for my boys and me and it kept us in all the eggs we could eat. The egg sales pretty much paid for the feed costs, really, so eggs for my family were pretty much free.
And the sweetest part? I have my (forever love!) Basset Hound at the time, Rufus. When the chicks were feathering out, they lived in the 3rd floor walk-up attic room in a nice brooder pen with warming lights, etc. They ‘imprinted’ on Rufus as he came upstairs with me each morning to ‘check on the chickens.’ They would follow him anywhere if I was home and free-ranging them for the day in the house yard.
“Raising chickens is an excellent way to teach a kid work ethics and responsibility.”
We’ve been binging on reruns of “The Incredible Dr. Pol” on NatGeo Wild. Those farm kids are amazing. Tough. Smart. Responsible. Hard Working.
I read about some military guys being asked their opinions about women in the field with them. They all sort of agreed that the only females that were worth a lick, and that could be counted on, were farm girls.
