nanarock Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Hi I want to make a raised bed for the eglu and pen to stand on. Have you any suggestions what I should fill it with. Would you mainly fill it with soil, or should it be concreted. Edited March 26, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Concrete probably isn't a good idea because the hens won't be able to dig in it. Wood chips are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanarock Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Chatty chicken Are your chickens in the eglu run or have you built your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy ben grace Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 We built a wir where our raised beds were and just put some wood chips from the local tree surgeon down. The girls like it as they can scratch away and get down to the soil for worms etc. We take some out and top it up every now and again although we cant clean it out completely as we would need a trailer to put it all in! Its good for the garden too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
