joandcherry Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I am new to chickens, other than housesitting for some recently! I have a few questions please if you don't mind answering. I am planning to buy land though in the meantime, would like to get a couple of bantams for my very small garden. The problem is I don't have grass, just concrete slabs. I wonder if you could advise if this would be suitable, and how I can provide the necessary environment for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Hardly anyone who has chickens has grass… I certainly don’t as they will demolish it very soon, unless you have a very large lawn. My bantams are partially on slabs, partially on soil. I cover the slabs with wood chips. You would only need to provide a largish container with soil/sand for dustbath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I agree with @Cat tails Pop a nice deep layer of hard wood woodchips over the concrete. Make sure they have a nice waterproof roof covering to help keep them dry. Give them plenty of things to keep them entertained - mine have wooden mushrooms to sit on, a couple of children's benches and a Jungle Gym from Flyte So Fancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
