Cat tunnels for catio wanted

[Hen Watch]

One more question please, have worked out where they can go in the autum after flowers die down, BUT.... do we put the eglu and run on the soil and then bark or is it better to put down concreat slabs first, and if so how do they poke around?

Sorry I sound so daft!!!

 

Up to you and the type of soil conditions.

 

My soil is heavy clay and so in winter it is always soggy and floods. So I put them up on the patio to stop flooding more than anything and put Auboise down as a poop catcher. My lot didn't mind having to scratch around in Auboise with slabs underneath. But they did get free range garden time every day too.

 

If your ground doesn't get waterlogged then I can't see why they can't go on soil+bark. But by then you will have had a whole summer of chook keeping experience and you will end up experimenting with different sites I expect as you go along.
