Procrastination refers to the counterproductive deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. For some people, procrastination can be persistent and tremendously disruptive to everyday life. For these individuals, procrastination may be symptomatic of a psychological disorder such as ADHD. I was a procrastinator. With out the stress, I found it hard to really think clearly. I wonder if I had ADHD as a child. I was always dreaming my life away. Thomas has a German assignment that should be handed in tomorrow. He has had 4 weeks to do it. Guess when he started it? Oh boy! On the one hand how can I be hard on him when I was the same way? But school in Germany is like 100 times harder then any American school. He is not going to pass if he continues to procrastinate like this! I ask him every day, did you do your home work. I get a yes...but now I need to check closer. I feel like we are on a tight rope, trying to balance between being too pushy and showing enough over sight. Letting go, and still parenting.
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.
