I wonder how much trouble keeping chickens in the greenhouse would be. I feel like some partially agua culture setup that’s closed loop and consumes the compost could work well, but is probably too expensive in terms of heated square footage to make sense.
- gnfargbl 3y agoI'd be concerned about the health risks. Poultry can spread a few nasty bacterial diseases to humans, and in a closed and isolated environment like this contagion is surely something to be strenuously avoided.
- tantalor 3y agoSure but these chickens would be isolated from the outside world, like a lab setting, so how would they come in contact with something that could harm humans?
- kleer001 3y agoOh, like raised from the egg kind of situation? I think there still an issue of cross contamination with things that don't grow on humans or objects, but love chickens in the air or incidental dusts.
