Hi Maren,
Thank you for the information. I think I will order
a copy of Tony's book - if nothing else, he's a fascinating person and deserves
all the support we can give him.
I plan to build this little house Nebraska style.
Can you tell me a little about your round chicken house? Are you in Britain?
What will you do about weather proofing or is this a temporary building?
Foundations? Roof? I'm afraid the questions never stop....
Best,
Mary

Hi Mary,
we're building a 20sqm big round-house (for our lucky chickens),
but I don't know if you would like to build it with the post and beams
structure or in Nebraska-style. In GB you can buy a very nice book called "
The low impact round house" by Tony Wrench. It's about 9-10pounds. You can
fill then with straw-bales instead of other materials he uses for his round
house.I hope this helped you. Maren
