scarlettohara Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Today I have been doing this : I am absolutely cream crackered - I never thought hatching 6 chicks would be so exhausting I may hatch some more in about 6 months time Chinese takeway and early night for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looks good you deserve that takeaway. Enjoy your tea. How long are you hoping it will last? I can see you have some plastic mesh down to stop it getting muddy. Let me know if that works I could do with something like that around my duck pond.

scarlettohara Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Man in the garden centre said it will keep growing now so I am only going to walk on the protected bits and hope it can cope with the girls They have a big woodchip area to scratch and dustbathe in as well.

chuckmum6 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wow, is that what grass looks like, I'd forgotten, mine is thick mud brown, slippy and sticky. The chickens just seem to jump up and down until what lawn is totally destroyed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Oh lovely green stuff, may I make one suggestion, we did the same last year..put down a path, and only walk on it in the bad weather, ours has survive through this rotton weather and still looking good. Mind you mine are not allowed on the grass at all now,they have their own garden extenstion ( 12 foot of mud ) Hope you had a large glass of something with your dinner, you deserve it.

scarlettohara Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 If I think they are trashing it I can fence it off (like the other lawn by the house ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
