4 GREAT FALLS, MT Our first trip to a N40 Coop winner’s residence was a little, well, weird. Here we were, three guys (two with camera gear) going to Jana’s house to look at a chicken coop. To break the ice, I asked the first thing that came to mind, “What did you think when you saw an online competition for chicken coops”? Jana kinda laughed. I don’t even remember her answer to be honest, but I asked this question to every winner in one form or another, and it was always met with a little smile. MTV Cribs morphed into N40 Coops. Hard not to smile when you think of it like that. Jana is a handy person. She designed and built most of the coop herself. 16
