Jennyhenny Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Heres a picture of my garden as promised with the eglu run in place that we sorted at the weekend. By the way in the run is PURPLE rubber chippings that everyone is interested in as you an see it looks great . I'm just going to start a new thread in eglus runs etc with more pictures for everyone that has asked. Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 That is such a beautiful little garden . The eglu (and rubber chippings!) look great . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 You've all got such lovely neat gardens, I'm sure size doesn't matter. Mine is average size for a town garden, about 45' deep by 60' wide and very overlooked. Will try to post some pics later, though it's nowhere near as neat as yours.

Erm not all neat - did you look at mine, peas on the table, upturned pool on the lawn, kids toys all over..... :lol: Look what I left on the table :lol: Jennyhenny What is it? A waterpistol? Can't quite make it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yes it is a water pistol and if you look closely behind the palm on the left you can just see the sheets and blankets I throw over at night to darken the run and eglu Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmommasally Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 That's lovely bigmommasally- and neat too Thanks - but it photographs better than it looks in reality - you can't see the worn patches of grass; easibed, hemcore & hay scattered by chickens and bunnies across the whole garden; or the poop stained patio in the photos.

abwsco Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Our garden isn't very big and we haven't got fence panels to measure it by. This is it after just over a year of keeping chickens We did used to have that green stuff- grass I think you call it The little beggars have eaten my peonies tonight and also my big fern that had come up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyknickers Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Your garden is lovely too sally - all the gardens on this thread are. I didnt get chance to measure up today as by the time got in from work, kids to bed, went for a run, tidied up it was pitch black! Its about 2-3 fence panels wide and not many more long I dont think - will see tomorrow! Will get some photos from the bedroom window too! Quick cluck and sally - we should organise an Essex meet (I am sure penguinmad will be up for it too). Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lugreen Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have enjoyed reading this thread and it's so timely as I have been wondering (again!) if my garden is too small for chickens I think I may also win this one My L-shaped garden sits about 2.5ft-4ft lower than the back of the house and the short end of the L is now decked out - it's rather lovely really, we're raised up, in a sun trap and have a great view of all the gardens down the hill - maximum benefits without the mowing! The lowest part of the garden used to have a concrete shed on it (not mine, and used for all sorts of dubious purposes apparently!) which we demolished but have been left with the base, a very small border and a path. I have a raised bed at one end, trees in the border at the other and am hoping to put the eglu in between - total space 25ft x 10ft! Am I mad?!? Here is the veg patch (Indy painted it, and my "first" chook ) and here are the plans for the rest of the garden, for an eglu and converter added to the run.... The long brown rectangle is an old jetty post, which would weight down the run and be a great spot for the girls and us to perch Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieadams Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Would you be able to pull out the tray to clean it out without ruining your plants behind it? Great plan by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lugreen Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Would you be able to pull out the tray to clean it out without ruining your plants behind it? - uhuh.. just about! with my backside wedged between a silver birch and a broom! We have it chalked out on the concrete and there seems to be more wiggle room than the plan suggests.. and with luck the real girls arrive July time; I'm campaigning for a red eglu for my birthday at the end of June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
