Most of our friends know that Juergen and I take turns going to church on Sunday mornings, and caring for our autistic daughter Jessica. Today I took Jess out for breakfast at McDonalds. She likes to sit in the restaurant when there are not so many people there. She watches the TV monitors that show music videos. And she eats her salad and chicken. We sit for a whole hour and she holds my hand. She is getting very social lately. I'm sure the fact that it is warm and sunny helps allot. She hates winter as much as I do. I dream of taking her to Thailand for a month or more. I know it would be so good for her to soak up all that lovely sunshine, eat the good food and swim every day. The light is so different there. But Thailand is expensive (at least the airfare is expensive). We are painting the house this year. I'm not even sure we will take a vacation. We will just have to see.
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.
