Jennyhenny Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi Just thought it would be interesting to know exactly how small your garden can be to have chooks. Mines very small (I think) at 18ft x 14ft and I have three girls. Mines smallest so far Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Just been out to measure mine (out of interest!). You beat me . I thought mine was small but it's 27ft x 27ft. Postively Hampton Court sized . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The good lifers Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 what's that in meters? I think ours is quite small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 My garden is approx. 20 foot square with two little bits down the sides of the conservatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 what's that in meters?I think ours is quite small! 18 feet is 5.5 metres and 14 feet is 4.3 metres. I definitely can't beat that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 The back garden where they free range is about 70 x 40 ft, but there is a brick shed and a trampoline stuck in the middle of it - the trampoline doesn't get in their way - they are often found on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennyhenny Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Heres my garden, looks bigger on the photograph. I'm a secretary for an Estage Agent this was the photo they took when I was thinking of selling (good lens) The eglu and run has been moved this weeked between the palms. (thats why I thought of this thread cos of the trouble we had fitting it in) the palm nearest to us had to be moved as eglu and run wouldn't fit in and is now at the front of the photo on the left hand side. I will take a photo tomorrow with eglu in new place. Meezers - OMG thats a football pitch Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickcluck Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 ha! There is usually a larger than life stuffed dalmation, but that actually looks like a person!!!! (will dash upstairs with my torch and check it out!) You are right JennyHenny is a lovely Hosta, I have many, but as you guessed the girls dont come out until the end of summer, hence the new bigger WIR!

poachedegg Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 can we see a pic of your garden jenny? I don't know what mine measures off the top of my head. A good way to measure without having to measure (if that makes sense!) is to count your fence panels - usually 6ft wide each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieadams Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ours is smallish - 7 fence panels by 4, so about 42x28 foot, but it has two patios and two brick built sheds in it! This is it this morning (paddling pool left out to dry from yesterday, and note the peas up on the table, almost as if they needed moving out of someone's way )!! We didn't have a garden in our last house and haven't bought a lawnmower yet, but we did pull out all the last owners attractive flowers and replace them with fruit trees and radishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddleduck Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Its impossible to measure mine, as its on different levels, the back of the house isn't flat and the garden isn't square but it is roughly 6 fence panels by 8 panels! and its not very easy to take pics of either! edited: my fence panels are small ones though so its not as big as it sounds!!!!

PurpleTree Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Here's some pics of my garden in the snow http://welshpurpletree.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/snow/ Don't know how big it is, our fence isn't in panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 oooh I might win this - will measure when I get home. Used to be longer but husband had a conservatory built before we met so took up a lot of room. Will be in touch when got the tape measure out! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennyhenny Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Lovely ANH, I notice the netting is that so they can't get onto the grass or keep them off the borders Jennyhenny Edited Just noticed the girl in the border Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 They're not getting on my new grass, oh no . I've had to put the netting quite a few inches away from the lawn but still they manage to do a bit of edging for me .....
