Juergen's dad Richard is in the hospital again. He fell and broke his leg, high by the hip. They already operated. He is Ok, but must remain in the hospital for a while. And with all his other medical needs, it does make it a little complex to treat. He just turned 86 years old, and seems to be getting more and more fragile. Juergen will most likely go up North to see him for a few days this week. Juergen and the kids returned from Italy yesterday. It was a very long drive, and there was allot of traffic. But his sister is with Richard today, so Juergen doesn't need to rush up North today. He will go in a few days instead. My Mom drives from Seattle to Oregon today. It takes about 5 hours, and I pray she has a safe trip. I know my Dad will be very happy to have her home.
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.

YES dad will be excited about seeing mom.
I drove to Portland yesterday to get Eric and traffic was awful. But it was Friday night.
Saturday might be a better day to travel.
Glad everyone had a safe and nice trip.
We so very sorry about this latest development. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Richard and to all his family, especially Juergen. Mom & Dad
