As a long-time chicken owner, I have to disagree that taking care of chickens is hard work. Dirty? Maybe, depending on what you're comfortable with, but not hard. They do take daily care. We look after ours morning and evening and move their tractor daily, but they are much less work than our cats or a dog, and it is super easy to find someone willing to look after them when we will be away for a weekend or a week since they get to keep the eggs.

I just can't get behind this as a hard and fast rule. We have 12 foot ceilings in every room of our home. It is an original craftsman style home, and it think it would look ridiculous to have curtains hanging twelve feet up when the tops of the woodwork around the windows is *only" 9.5 feet high. 2.5 feet of odd space floating up there inbetween curtains that sore into the sky would look silly. Having curtains that are placed just above and outside the woodwork makes our rooms feel cozier to me.
Does anyone have pictures of curtains in rooms with really high ceilings? Are they all the way up, just above the window, or part way between?
