Straw bale, anyone?

Do you mean straw bale as in "stack them up and put something on for a roof", or do you mean real straw bale construction as in "sitting on foundation, tied with rebar, covered with chickenwire and stuccoed, the way you would use to construct strawbale houses etc"?

If you mean the former -- and I think most people on this thread are referring to just that -- then I strongly suggest using rebar or some other mechanism to tie them together to prevent collapse onto chickens, and be very careful about mold as it can be a big problem in temporary stacked-bale structures in damp weather or on damp ground, and expect a mouse problem. It can be done but there are probably better means of creating temporary housing.

Good luck, have fun,

Pat
