Permaculture chicken coop greenhouse. This whole idea of a chicken greenhouse is fascinating. I chased them but had no idea how to actually catch a chicken. Bill mollisons greenhousechicken coop posted on december 2 2011 by owen geiger october 24 2019 i found a very good greenhouse design by bill mollison co developer of permaculture in this video called intro to permaculture 12 the industrial egg vs the permaculture egg.
A greenhouse is a winter season option for cold climates. This is going to be a combination greenhouse and henhouse. The south side of the structure will be designed to collect as much sun as possible and function as the greenhouse.
My main interest in a chicken greenhouse would be the sterilization the sun brings to the chicken dwelling. This chicken coopgreenhouse design was inspired directly from a drawing done by bill mollison one of the founders of permaculture. Tres and cuatro flew the coop within the first hour as we underestimated their flying ability.
Their compost y bedding is a system that adds heat to the ambient temperature. You can easily convert a greenhouse into a chicken coop by boarding up the sides at least two feet to hold in deep bedding and by adding a four foot fence to protect the plastic.

Amongst permies permaculture enthusiasts the idea of combining a greenhouse and a chicken coop is nothing new. These are called stacked functions in this case the symbiotic relationship between greenhouse and chicken coop lowers the costs and increases the benefits of both.
Remember visiting tid tidy poultry keeper extrodinaire at the anchorage hamphire england and permaculture designer around 1990 who had trialled a chicken greenhouse design over quite some time and who let us know that for his design vertical chicken wire screen between the chicken zone and the plant zone dust raised by and from the chickens was a major problem as it had covered the leaves of the plants in the adjoining greenhouse both suffocating the plants and making them hard. Permaculture designs are always looking for ways to combine different elements of the homestead so that they benefit each other. The chickens add body heat to the greenhouse space helping to keep the temperature up.
Maybe growing our own chickens wasnt for us. They were lost forever doubts set it. Bill says to separate the coop and gh inside with wire meshfencing so that chickens can heat the greenhouse and the plants can use the co2 and moisture from the chickens.
However we trudged on and more chickens joined the ranks of uno and dos.
