I like this idea. If we put this tunnel house on a concrete block foundation that is say 1 meter high, and then do a mosaic on the wall, it would make the tunnel house taller, and look better. You can buy kits for tunnel houses, but I think it would be easy just to cut the parts our selves (cheaper too).
Here are some photo's from our gareden work yesterday.
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.
