HI Sal,

I once visited a place called Solviva on Martha's Vineyard, MA. The
woman who designed and lives there had a chicken coop attached to one
side of the green house. In addition the greenhouse was attached to
the house at the kitchen. This was many years ago but as I recall the
chickens were in cages. I have run across articles written about
Solviva and would be willing to snail mail you what I have if you are
interested.

Take care,

Jennifer
