Coop

The Coop is a charity-funded relocation housing unit established by Lucky and his charity organization, the Freedom Activists. The project to build the structure began in 655, marked by a collaboration with the Southern End Logging Company, with full construction ending in 673. The structure is made almost entirely of wood, and consists of a large sheltered stable, a front lobby, a front office, a dining hall, a recreation room, administrative offices, nurseries, perches, and other rooms. The Coop was designed to house up to one thousand roosters and hens. In its beginning seasons of operation, a variety of species, such as geese and turkeys lived in the Coop, but eventually only roosters and hens remained. (The numbers of interspecies residents was small.) Lucky designed the Coop as part of his Relocation Effort (655-678), and described the operations and functions of the Coop as such:

1.) To provide stable housing for those in neeed

2.) To establish a home for future generations

3.) To feed and nourish those that remain unfed by the government

4.) To provide protection from attack

The Coop was governed by Lucky and his party, until Lucky's untimely disappearance in 678. When Jerk took over, the governing council integrated and followed the structure and ideas of Jerk's campaign and those described with Project Uprooting. Thirty-six of forty-seven individuals on the council were arrested by the government later when the Perch Court learned of the growing disturbances that the new party was creating.

Structure

The Coop was built primarily out of hickory wood provided by the Southern End Logging Company of Backwoods. It is five stories tall, and contains all the facilities typically found in a boarding institution. The deal made with the Southern End Logging Company established that "[they] would recieve fifteen percent annual from taxed imports."

However, the money was never paid back, and the Southern End Logging Company was forced to shut down due to debt. No retaliative action was ever taken against the council at the Coop or any of its inhabitants.
