Happy chickens! Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Reason for asking is my dad has a small pre-formed pond liner hanging around (only about 1ft by 2ft) and wondered if we dug it in and filled with water if the chooks would enjoy it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hens really only seem to like water for drinking. They don't mind paddling in puddles but are wary of deeper water and could drown if they fell in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks, Lesley, husband relieved that he doesn't now have to dig the frozen earth for a pond!! He's been hard at work making a fenced area for the ladies and doing a fix to the Eglu so we can open the front, so I guess we can let him off!

Barkisland Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Filled with sandy compost it would make a lovely dustbowl though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
