This month’s “Cool Coop” is home to the beloved hen, Lucy. ♥
Lucy, who suffers from the aftereffects of Marek’s Disease, is cared for by author and artist, Lauren Scheuer. I’ve followed Lauren’s blog, Scratch and Peck, for years. The stories, photos and wonderful artwork of her endearing backyard chickens are such a treat to read. As chicken keepers, we know that there is nothing more fun that watching the entertaining antics of a chicken, but even if you don’t have your own flock – Lauren’s humorous tales of each hen’s unique personality will have you smiling! Continue reading as Lauren shares Lucy’s Special Needs Coop:
Five years ago, Lucy contracted Marek’s disease. Her feet, legs and stamina were permanently affected. But Lucy is a survivor. Today, Lucy is a wise old hen and a treasured friend. Her feet are twisted, her legs are stiff, but her life is good. In her Special Needs coop, Lucy manages to get where she wants to go — and she gets all the respect she deserves from her young flock mates.
I began with a basic, kind of ugly, 6X8’ prefab shed.
but of course everyone wants to sleep next to Lucy.
I do believe Lucy approves.
– Lauren Scheuer
Thank-you Lauren for sharing the construction and layout of your special needs coop. I am sure that your set-up will be helpful to others who have had to make adaptions to their coop because of a hen with disabilities. And – it’s nice to know that a chicken can live life to its fullest despite a few obstacles… The stories of Lucy’s trials and triumphs are an inspiration to all of us that life may not be easy, but it can be enjoyable. It’s good to know that Lucy’s got a great chicken keeper looking after her – and comfortable and accessible coop!

I’m reading this book right now, a library copy. I’m really enjoying it, not only the writing but the drawings as well. I would love to have my own, signed copy. I’m so glad she didn’t give up on Lucy! zookyla at yahoo dot com.
I have a chicken who kept getting egg bound, then she would get peritonitis, so the vet put a Suprelorin implant in her (it’s normally used to treat adrenal disease in ferrets). She gets a new one every three months. It keeps her from going a cycle so she doesn’t lay eggs. When she would get sick I would bring her in the house where I had a little bed made up for her. The last time she was sick in the house, I came home and found her roosting on the guest bed pillow with my cat sleeping about two feet from her. It was like he was watching over her until I got home:)

Being a builder of coops myself, I can’t believe I didn’t think of putting a seat inside! I think I may need to do a retro-fit. Lucy’s story was heartwarming. I love the blog and would love the book. I am at earthcirclefarm@yahoo.com. Thank you!
Sweet Lucy is a very blessed little hen! Love the innovations you made for Lucy. I too have a hen named Lucy-she’s a Red Sex Link and is quite the mischievous one. LOVE your book, especially the cute illustrations and would absolutely love to add it to my collection of chicken keeping books!!!! Cluck Cluck!
Thanks for the ideas. I”m new to Chicken raising, well I will be once I get my chicks next week!!! I can’t wait to check out the Scratch and Peck blog too.
Thanks for the giveaway. tenderholts @gmail.com
This will be our first summer raising chickens and could really use all the info we can get. We built an A-Frame chicken coop. We will be adding more hens in the spring. So far, we only have to hens and a rooster (Rhode Island Reds) jeansandts@rocketmil.com

Lucy is the luckiest hen to have an awesome, caring owner. I too have a hen that is a special needs girl. She’s white, tiny and frail but is hanging in there with special treats
like warm oatmeal and raisins on cold days. (upstate NY). Her name is Snowflake and
all her coop mates keep her in the middle of them to stay extra warm. Your book has to be a wonderful read because you have obviously taken a hen into your heart.
Stay Warm!! magnum4994@aol.com
We are in the process of moving to another state, our flock went to a good home. We hope to buy a new house that will allow us to set up a new coop and a new flock.

What a sweet story about Lucy! I have 2 hens and I call them my girls. One is very cat like, curious about new people but once she knows you’re a friend don’t be surprised when she hops up in your lap wanting some loving. Even with the tough winter here in PA this year, both of my girls are producing daily! I have a home made portable coop and I stapled painters plastic sheeting around it to creat a greenhouse type of effect and it’s working wonderfully. The girls still get to peck around in the dirt a the bottom of the coop finding the occasional bug or grass to eat. I would like to get a few more hens this spring as it’s been just over one year taking care of my back yard hens and I find it quite easy and enjoyable! Would love to win a new coop! Thank you! MicheleIngraffia@aol.com (Michele Ingraffia)
(Ms. Dana Ward) dana.ward7@att.net You make me feel wonderful reading about Lucy. I long for the day when I can hold a big soft happy hen again. Reading about them blesses me, especially since I had to move to a place where owning a hen is not considering owning a pet, but keeping livestock. In Heaven, I believe there will be chickens and that the LORD put there for people like us.
Great story – heartwarming (needed with the weather right now) and great to see how you coped with Lucy’s problems. Thank you.
hclhalcyon@tds.net
We’re just getting into homesteading and looking to get chickens in the spring. I love all the ideas.

Thank you for sharing this! Heartwarming, and some practical info too.
I am so happy to read the comments of other people that love their birds and don;t think of destroying them when they are old or disabled. I have been called crazy for fixing a set-up for birds with special needs. I would love to win your book. Thank you for the chance. rchlg5@aol.com
What an awesome coop!! I would love to learn more.
mayflower@g2a.net
I’m So Glad Lucy has you! If I were a chicken,I’d come flapping up to roost with her too.
We are out in the country, I have wanted chicks for years. Love your coop! With all the inspiration I have found..I should have fresh eggs by now.
Great ideas in your coop! I like your fold down seat and the storage area. Lucky Lucy!
Jennifer giese@silverstar.com
Love the post, jfosterbennett@netscape.net
Lucky Lucy! Love the idea of a special needs coop. My beloved Goldie will be 13 soon and I would do whatever it takes to make her happy.
Wow, Michelle Goldie will be 13? You’ve been doing things right. Wishing her a great year, and you too.
Lucy is a lucky bird, I would have done the same thing for her, they are family. i love your coop.
I so enjoy reading the adventures of Lucy & Dorrie! jonquilsgrdn@gmail.com
Lucy is a loved bird
Great coop! amytwarren@yahoo.com
I have always said that how someone treats an animal when no one is watching is a true testament to their character–Kudos to you for treating this beautiful chicken with such love and respect. A lesson for all of us in kindness. Sue F. suefischer@hotmail.com
Love that Lucy!

While I do not have chickens, but babysit my son’s birds I find your coop design and information interesting and very useful, and have shared the website with my son and his family.
What a wonderful story!

Thank you for the great ideas! I’m a newbie to the chicken world and I’m also a geek that has to know all the details before I do something-your suggestions have been added to the extremely long coops details list! rtomaskovic@mailchs.com
Would love to have a copy !
ghavranvena@aol.com
Lucy is a very special chicken. I would love to win the book marlenerose@ymail.com
I think it’s amazing that you treat Lucy like she’s not hendicap(get the pun) and you modified the coop to her needs and not yours.
Fix a kid some eggs and feed for a day, but teach them to raise chickens and feed them for life. gardennator@gmail.com
You’ve made some great modifications in your Special Needs coop! I think some bear consideration when I build my next coop! Thank you!
Looks like things are working out fine for Lucy and her friends.
I love Lucy!
Wonderful detailed info on a special needs coop! So happy that Lucy has such a dedicated and loving mom! Already following Scratch & Peck blog and on FB too!
I have 20 acres and I’ve thought about getting chickens for a few years now. I think this year will be the year it actually happens! 🙂

What a cool coop! And what a tough little bird, Lucy. That’s so wonderful that she made it thru Marek’s and, Lauren, you are a great person for taking care of her and giving her a “special needs” area. Thanks. debcarr57@comcast.net
what a privileged it is to read Lucy’s story. I never knew I could like a chicken as much as I now like Lucy. Very entertaining article. I would love to read the book.

What a cool giveaway!

Really nice to learn other people pamper their egg ladies after they’re too old to lay. Our two geriatric ducks had trouble getting into their house a step above ground level, and trouble jumping down in the morning. So we kick into place a straw “handicapped ramp” for them every morning, then remove it every evening to shut the door. Getting in and out is really easy and not hard on their tender aged feet. Wouldn’t have it any other way. slobuild at yahoo.com
I loved your article about Lucy and her special coop! The book would be a joy to win. I would share it with grand kids and all my family. I hope things continue to go well with Lucy and all her chick friends!! swede51@mchsi.com
I would LOVE to read this and pay it forward to some friends! kimmyhillbilly@gmail.com KImmy Moore
What an ideal and well thought out coop! Great for Lucy and the rest of the flock. Great job, well done! mrsa51@comcast.net

I’m hoping to have chickens again soon & this was very helpful in thinking out a design for my coop.
Our chickens bring us much enjoyment when we had them that we are getting ready to start new this spring!
Your books sounds as though it would be interesting and humorous to read. I can’t wait to read it! Darcia Gallt New Auburn, Wisconsin galltd@yahoo.com
I am so wanting to have a backyard coop and feathered ladies, maybe not this summer but eventually. Lauren and Lucy make me want it more than ever.
Thanks for the opportunity to read another good book
My daughter is starting her first flock this spring with the exuberance of welcoming a new human baby. Your book would offer her a tremendous amount of support. My email is charlie.ds24@gmail.com. happy flocking!
I have wanted to be a backyard chicken whisperer for years now, and love reading about other peoples coops. Crossing my fingers that I get my girls this year.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I rescue special needs animals and am so happy someone sees the love they have to offer. We have 4 chickens and if any of them became special needs we would do the same thing for them as Lauren.
I facebooked Lauren and accused her of writing my unauthorized biography. I love her yardbirds, her book, her illustrations, Lucy’s coop, her tremendous humor, and even her terrier. Patrice Brunton Topeka, Kansas

The coop is so wonderful! nanzniche@yahoo.com
Great ideas… & thanks for this great giveaway!
Once upon a time and in a place south of here I had chickens. I loved having chickens. They were tame and would nibble out of my hands sitting in my lap. I miss them, and since I plan on moving in the next year or so will have them again. I had Rhode Island Red, Aracauna, and Plymouth Rock for eggs, and some Cornish Rock for meat. I can’t wait to raise chickens again. woodenhawk@sbcglobal.net
Such a sweet story! Thanks for a chance to win a give-away! graceinapril@gmail.com

Loved hearing about how you have made accomodations for Lucy! Would love to win a copy of your book!
oh this is wonderful, i also have a handicapped hen, her name is Poe, and was attacked one night by i think a raccoon, (who killed her sister), but now she is half blind, and cannot make any noise, (her throat was also injured badly), and her leg, so she walks funny too. My daughter wants more chickens in the spring, as Poe is awfully lonely now., So this is such a great idea!!! Thanks for listening.. mjgaff48@hotmail.com

I am about to relocate closer to my son/grandkids and plan to become more self sufficient in a downsized home, raise chickens and get off the grid as much as I can. I’ve been reading up on this new lifestyle and can’t wait to get started later on this year. I love what you’ve done and the knowledge you share. kryan73@hotmail.com
That coop is immaculate! Better than some houses I have seen!!! Congrats!
I’m learning Chickens are pretty cool people. rsvpmcaso@yahoo.com
I checked Lauren’s book out from the library and absolutely loved it! I would be delighted to win a copy of my own. pbougeus@msn.com
Congratulations! You’re the winner! – Check your email for more info…
I really want the book. We (my son and I) are starting to live the off the grid homestead life. Hopefully we will be totally in by July. His wife and I want to raise chickens for the same reasons, eggs and meat. We want 2 separate coops for that reason. Adjoining runs and wall separated coops so they will still feel a part of a whole flock.
Great read and awesome ideas. gdonnelly01@roadrunner.com
I love this blog about the special needs chicken and coop and I would love to win this book! patricia.browne@gmail.com
These are good ideas, we live in western Kansas with lots of wind and some blowing snow. I enclosed a part of the outside run with glass shower doors, it is nice for them out of the cold and wind and still enjoy the sun.
Great dedication and story of survival! ronkcraw@gmail.com
I loved Lucy’s story. I had a crippled rooster as a child. His name was Michael. He loved sitting in my lap being petted. Reading your story brought back all my memories of him. Thanks for reminding me of a gentler time in my life. bbleon62@yahoo.com
I am impressed with how you chose to spare her life, giving her an opportunity to share her story with us mere humans. I look forward to reading more exploits of the Lucy Show.

Grew up on my grandmother’s farm and she passed her wisdom and love of raising chickens on to me. I would be so pleased to receive your book! dmbeach24@yahoo.com
I currently have an 8’x12′ coop for my 6 girls….I realize this is a huge coop for so few hens, but I like to make sure they have room to move when they are “cooped” up due to deep snow. I would like to build a smaller coop, but worry about the space in the winter….any suggestions? My ideal would be to build a raised coop with access to the space underneath for the winter where the ground would be clear for the most part.
Sheri, during the snowy months, I hang clear plastic tarps (clear shower curtains work great too) from little hooks under the eaves of my covered run. I secure them with boards or bricks at the bottom. This keeps the snow and wind out and lets the sun shine in. — Lauren

My outside dog killed one of my chickens last year and the other died from unknown causes. I can’t stand to eat store bought eggs now. My friend had chickens some years ago, one of which was named for me. When my name-sake got sick, my friend took her to the vet, spent $40 on her. Sometimes we’re foolish about animals, but I appreciated her devotion. When spring shows up, I plan to get two more girls for the chicken tractor, and a muzzle for the dog. shaney002@hotmail.com
