Greg I have been doing exactly that as well. My hubby finds himself always looking around as well wherever he goes for little things I could make into pots lol. I go thrift store shopping about every weekend to look for neat things. I know my chicks will love it much more being outside. I was thinking of putting the little greenhouse next to my house which would be on the north side of the house. Would this give them enough sunlight during the day? Too much? Im never sure about that.
