I took Jessica and Sarah to the Christmas party at Jessica's school today. It began with a one hour church service. Jessica was pretty restless and basically wanted to leave the whole time. She does not enjoy sitting in a crowd of people. At one point in the service 4 very large paintings were brought on the stage. Jessica looked like she wanted to drag me to the stage to look at these paintings. I guess she saw them made. I did go see the paintings, but I waited until after the service. I'm sure no one in the room appreciated these paintings of the Christmas story more then Jessica. She got excited to see Jesus. It would have been nice if she could remain polite in the service. Sarah was very well behaved. But people were never "polite" around Jesus. Later I asked Jessica's teacher to ask Jessica what she would like to get for Christmas. At first Jessica wrote she wanted good food to eat. Then she wrote she didn't want any gifts because she could not say thank you (Jessica can not talk). I told Jessica she could write me a Christmas story, that would be thanks enough. She wrote that she would try. I think she is very sad she can not talk. I'm sad too. To hear her voice would be the best gift I could ever get! Just to hear her sweet voice.
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.
