Single hen

[chickenlass]

and that is just from the husband!!

 

after 45mins+ [i think the guide time of 20mins is streching it a bit] we have this in preparation for next weekend!!

 

will the garden ever be this tidy again??

[Lesley]

In a word - No! .......... but you won't mind

[Snowy]

No!

 

Was just thinking how nice and neat it looks. But at least the chooks will be fun as well as destructive.

[theherd123]

It looks great!

 

The chooks will be great when they arrive - they will claim the garden and it will never be yours again - Congratulations!

[Martin B]

Nice garden, cute rabbit!

[gooner.girl]

GRASS!!!! I remember that!

[Guest]

Oh I just love 'before' photos - can't wait to see the 'after' this time next year.

 

Wonderful garden - and gorgeous rabbit.

 

You will have such fun when you get chickens

Was just wondering what the 2 big bolts in the top of the run were for.....then realised it was solar lights .

Ha Ha...hadn't noticed them in the picture

I feel a bit mean now as the rabbit was watching me assemble the Eglu and looking longingly at it...me thinks I am going to have to order him a Rablu.

[Snowy]

OOOh and just realised you have gravel - you do know what they do to gravel don't you? I have to sweep all mine back to where it should be every evening.

[Linda]

Those lovely neat stones will be all over the grass in no time! Have you seen how far chickens can propel stones when they're having a good scratch around! It's great fun watching their antics.

[Linda]

Ooh, we're on the same wavelength, Snowy!!

Something tells me you lot are having a laugh at my expense !!!

You mean I should buy the rabbit some goggles to protect his eyes from low flying pebble dash.

Ah well hey ho!! I'll frame this picture so I can recall what a garden looked like a few months from now.

I thought this thread was going to be about a night out in Sheffield!

 

The Eglu looks very much at home in your garden Chickenlass.

 

Your chickens will make it complete.

[Laura & CTB]

- it's a bit like having a small demolition team in your garden

 

Still - you'll never have to be garden proud again

Whats that green stuff under the eglu?

 

All the best with your chickens, Chickenlass. You will never look back. Remember we are all here if you need advice!

[chickenlass]

Thanks everyone...I now I can get all the help I need here when

they arrive

How exciting chickenlass

 

And don't despair about your lawn there are ways of preserving it - provided you keep them on a permenant base of bark or auboise or similar and have/make some nice interesting areas for them to scratch around in there is hope for your lawn yet. I have lots of hedges around the edge of my garden and my girls spend most of the day scratching around under them. They do go on the lawn for some prize pickings and a bit of greenery but largely they save their destructive behaviours for the shrub borders.

 

However, if you intend to keep your eglu on the lawn and move it around in the hope of keeping it green then you can definately wave goodbye to it now.
