NFMC Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm reading on here how chickens will knacker your garden. Well, add in two football mad sons and their friends and my previously OK lawn is now a mud-bath. Glastonbury has nothing on this. I normally just sprinkle grass seed where they've been playing - even though it is the 'wrong' time of year. Is there any point now that I've got chickens? Will they just eat it up? I'm sure I could keep them in their run all day but I don't really want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I net off the area for about 6-8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I seeded where a trampoline used to be. I got a couple of boxes of bog standard seed from Poundland and netted the area off for a few weeks. The fat wood pigeons in my garden needed keeping off as much as the chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chookingham Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 A while ago on the forum I read of some sort of mesh that you can put down and let the grass grow through that had been used with some success by a couple of omleteers - I can't find it - anyone else spot the links?
