I was loading the dishes into the dishwasher this morning. Thomas walks into the kitchen with a spoon in his hand. He asks me where he should put it, on the counter or in the sink? I said he should just put it in the dishwasher. He gets this perplexed look on his face. What, you want me to put something in the dishwasher? I said yes! So my almost 10 year old son placed his first utensil into the dishwasher. Juergen, who is a perfectionist probably would have given him a 10 minute lecture on the correct placement of spoons in dishwashers. I am no where close to perfect! I said thank you, good job. Maybe we can work up to putting his cup in the dishwasher. It is what I live for...it's what I dream about at night! Not really! I'm getting silly, I haven't had my coffee yet!
Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
