i don't know why this is in my attention.   It seems to not have anything to do with anything,   but must have something to do with something.    It's the abandoned Chicken Palace.   Gotten for Talkie and her 3 sisters.  Alyssia bought it.   On sale because of something broken.     it was still when Destiny was living with her.   The 4 chicks were for Destiny and Julian and lived for a while in their bathtub when they were still  in Chico.   At first when they were old enough they lived here with the fence around a large space.   But not long they began flying out,  over that fence and free.   Something happened to one almost immediately.  Another disappeared.   Tay chased and grabbed one and i think it died of fright.   We built that roof apparatus of pvc pipe and a wireplastic netting that's on the ground  but she found ways out so it was dismantled and propped against the fence  and very soon,  Talkie never went back.   She never liked it, preferred roosting in trees.   We continued to feed her in there to no avail.  to me it has always been an eyesore.   It's set back between that feed shed and Jack Flash's Gate.  I like the feed shed…just 2x4s and a  brown fiberglass type roof.   Plain.  blends in.                                   Maybe it's emblematic for things tried but didn't work?   or  maybe things you want to work but can't ?   and once you have them,   they're just There because of…..what to DO with them?

    They came with a cost, and though they aren’t useful now, they might be someday?

    Reuse? Repurpose? Take apart? I’m especially eyeing the panels of hardware cloth… The roosting box as storage for something out of the weather? My dad was masterful at repurposing, a child of the depression.
