wee_deec Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I soooo want to get some hens! I've been on this forum a few months and really want to get some hens... Only problem... I live in a flat in Glasgow but, I do have my name down for an allotment and should hopefully be getting in in a few weeks! All I need to do is apply to the council to keep chickens and hope they say yes! haha I think I would start off with 2 - a Blue Ranger and a Speckledy... oh and I'd love an Indian Runner duck!

Mercedes55 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've often thought it would be lovely to have a penthouse flat with a huge rooftop area where we could keep hens. You'd never have a problem with foxes for sure, they could FR all the time. Doubt rats would get up there either. Could be a plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammy72 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Our City Council (Bristol) have a standard policy that all allotments accept henkeeping so that you don't have to apply. Having said that I am one year in to a two year waiting list for an allotment plot so decided to keep the chickens in our back garden instead. I think it will be lovely for you to have them on an allotment especially as you can use it as a substitute garden and can go and sit outdoors to watch them.

Space Chick Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Our allotments also allow hens, but not cockerels I always think if my morehens ever gets beyond my home capabilities that I could keep more in the allotment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_deec Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 No allotment holders in Glasgow keep chickens! I was very shocked! So I need to apply to the council for permission and they assess on a case by case basis! I'm hoping 'cos the allotment site will be new and everyone will be new to allotment life I will get the go ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
