Cinnamon Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 As some of you may know, we took Omlet up on their money back guarantee recently. It was a tough decision. Anyhow, we may have come up with a solution for the future. Our garden is quite big, but awkward as it borders a stream on one side. It is long though, but we cannot put the chickens down at the bottom as the very end patch of land is owned by the local estate who do not want to sell.We are unable to bulid anything on it,permenant or not. Also, we cannot put anything on one side of the garden as there is an emergency underground phone line,which supports the village sewage system, & need to be accessable. It is all in the deeds, so we are stuck. However, my lovely neighbour has just told us that he may be selling up to go into sheltered accommodation as her recently lost his wife,& is finding it hard to cope on his own. we have asked if he will consider selling us the bottom third of his garden, & it looks like he will agree! This means that our plot will now be L shaped....& it gives us the ideal chicken keeping area! So, give it a year or so to get things sorted out & fingers crossed I may be a shiney happy chicken keeper again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 What fabbo news Sarah - I bet that you daren't get too happy at this time, but I'm sure it will work out for you. Sounds like the new chooks would have a big area to live in - better get SuperKate to desing a habitat for them (see her new run). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
