Welcome!

Recommended Posts

Thanks, Christian!

 

Well, until I can post a signature, I have 6 hens all in my blue eglu. Yes, six! :) There are 2 Australorps, 2 RIRs, and 2 hybrids - 1 golden comet and 1 black star.

 

My formerly green yard is now completely dirt - the girls run free during the day. We fenced off their side of the yard so they wouldn't eat our vegetable garden. LOL.

 

Our neighbors seem to really like our hens since several of them grew up on farms. I was worried when we got them that the neighbors would be upset.

 

The girls are enjoying this cool weather, even though I'm not. It gets awfully hot here in the summer!

Oh, yay! :D

 

Okay, here are photos:

 

Before, the yard wasn't the best, but there was some grass:

Now:

Part of what happened, we believe, is that it didn't rain for 3 months here this past fall. We're going to throw down some rye grass seed soon, so there is at least something to hold the soil better. :) We recently put as many leaves as we could round up in there.

I just joined the forum and do not have any chickens yet. I'm in Southern California and readying myself to get some chickens. I'm in the search for a used Eglu. I've only found one so far and I lost the bid :-(. Any suggestions??

 

Hi try2bgreen and welcome to the forum :D .

 

Omleteers who are selling their Eglus can do so **HERE** :D . (Although the vast majority of them are in the UK. :( ) Alternatively, you could post **HERE** to see if anyone is selling one in your area. :D
