Vice President JD Vance is embracing his new life as a chicken farmer, after he installed a coop at his residence at the National Observatory.

'I have wanted chickens for a very long time,' he told Blaze TV podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey in an exclusive clip of a forthcoming interview provided to the Daily Mail.

Vance admitted that the new farm building, which was constructed with a similar Queen Anne Victorian-style architecture of the Vice President's residency, was the 'Taj Mahal of chicken coops.'

He said he was initially concerned about how engaged this three children Ewan, 8, Vivek, 6, and Mirabel, 4 would be with the new project, but they warmed quickly to their new agricultural endeavor.

'It turns out they love chickens. Like almost weirdly,' he joked. 'I'm worried they're going to be weird chicken people now because they obsessively want to go and hang out with the chickens and sit in the chicken coop. It stinks and there's poop everywhere.'

Vance said the family got 15 baby chicks for the coup and that the they were looking forward to them growing up and laying eggs.

'They are really into them which is better than the alternative,' he said about the children's engagement with the project, adding it was a good way for them to have some connection with nature while living in Washington, DC.

The coop was donated to the Vice President's residence with no cost to the taxpayer by Carolina Coops, a North Carolina company that builds custom coops for families.

Vance's addition to the vice president's residence joins previous enhancements of the property including the Bidens who added a Family Heritage Garden and a tree swing, the Pences who added beehives. 

Vice President Kamala Harris planted a pomegranate tree on the property to remember the victims of the October 7 terrorist attacks in Israel 

Vice President George HW Bush added a jogging track and Vice President Dan Quayle famously added a large swimming pool on the property. 

The Vances are the first family to have young children living with them at the residence since Vice President Al Gore and his children came to Washington in 1993.

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Vance joked that his kids ate 14 eggs a day, and expressed his concern about the rising price of eggs.

Now they will raise their own eggs for their household.  

The Vance family is also expecting an addition to their ranks, as the Vice President's wife Usha is expected to deliver their fourth child this summer, a baby boy due in late July.
