HA has wanted to have laying chickens since long before we moved to the island place. We eat a lot of eggs and, well, #TrumpTakeEgg, so the idea of having laying chickens makes even more sense. We have an old goat barn in our compound, so the Hand has been fixing it up so we can use half of it for chickens. I want to have a large outdoor run on it, so I’ve come up with a crazy design for same that’s based on bent PVC pipe. The pipe bends easily when heated; a propane weed/ice burner works well for this (at the expense of some CO2 emissions).

Hmmm. The design seems to be working, but I don’t think I should quit my day job to become a pipe bender. Perhaps I’ll get better with practice.
