Summary
A brown wooden model hen coop with a sloping roof. The roof is textured and painted brown. The front has a rounded hole cut into it and painted with a white edging. The back section opens up swivelling on two metal pins with a tack for a handle. The whole shed is fixed to a wooden base which has a textured surface and is painted green with a painted flower border. Fastened to the front edge of the coop, and held in place by two green posts so that it goes round three sides of the base, is a silver painted nylon 'wire' fence.
