Need a holiday gift for a backyard Thomas Jefferson? The Beau Coop Heritage Hen Mini Farm from Neiman Marcus “may be a bit much to wrap but will certainly make a statement.” Experts visit the recipient’s property to site and install this Versailles-inspired poultry coop, which includes a hatching area, a nesting room, a library with books (for human visitors), and a crystal-drop chandelier. Three to 10 heritage-breed hens, many of them endangered species, are included in the package, and each can be expected to lay two to four eggs a week.
