Dutch designer Ton Matton teaches at the Wendorf Academy, a design lab in the German countryside that creates “productive urban living concepts.” As raising “backyard chickens” is notoriously difficult for non-farmers, Matton created the Chicken Cabinet in hopes of simplifying the process. The top half of the cabinet is the chicken-centric part. The top left compartment contains a sandbox with a pull-out drawer. The top center compartment is where the feed and water is stored, via the truncated pull-out drawer just beneath it; below that is a larger drawer to catch chicken droppings.
At top right is the egg-laying compartment, kitted out with a curtain as chickens apparently prefer to lay eggs in the dark. Fresh eggs are captured on the full-depth drawer below, with another drawer beneath for sorting/storing eggs.
