hencoops
Chicken living quarters
Hencoops is the plural of hencoop, an enclosure for housing hens or other domestic fowl.
A hencoop is typically a small wooden structure with wire mesh, providing shelter while allowing ventilation: The fox got into the hencoops last night.
The word sometimes appears figuratively for any cramped, confining space.
