Snowy Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 No! Was just thinking how nice and neat it looks. But at least the chooks will be fun as well as destructive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 It looks great! The chooks will be great when they arrive - they will claim the garden and it will never be yours again - Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Linda Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 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.
