I took Nicole to her interview for the art Acadamey. They didn't say much. There were 10 teachers in the room. They seemed to look down on her age, and the fact that she wants to live at home. Most kids graduating from highschool in Germany are 19 years old, Nicole is only 17. One teacher asked her if she shouldn't go travel the world first. At least she was able to tell them she has already done that (China, Thailand, Israel, America, Mexico and most of Europe). They were very straight faced, and she couldn't really tell if she had a chance. So we will see in a few weeks. If not now, maybe next year. She can travel some more and practice her interviewing skills. She now understands what they are looking for.
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.

What a bold and confident character she has become. Carmen use to be shy.
