herecomethegirls Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Anyone know when this might be, this year? Keen to let the hens roam again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Not sure there will be a freedom day @herecomethegirls? I think that 'pet' chicken keeping is coming to an end and judging by the number of 'for sale coop and run' adverts, many others are thinking the same. Perhaps think of creating a bigger run?

Cat tails Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 The Netherlands has been on chicken lockdown for almost two years now. I’m with @Beantreeon this. Think you need to get used to it and possibly create a bigger run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herecomethegirls Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 I remember last year, the advice was that they could be let out on 01/04 unless you were within a certain radius of an outbreak. Anyone heard of anything like this again this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
