The painter came and painted 3 colors of paint on the house. We have to decide what color we want the house painted. Yellow or Terracotta? I want terracotta and everyone else wants yellow. I’m afraid I’m out numbered. Where is Nicole when I need her? It’s so hard to choose a good terracotta. They always look too pink or too brown. It’s hard to get the right yellow too. But nearly every house in our area is yellow. I like the color in general, but it really is kind of a bore. Terracotta is more of a risk, but it would look so fabulous if we got it right. But I’m really the only risk taker here…Nicole would back me up if she was here (I think).
this is how I want the house to look, and how it looks now.
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.
