nutterly_uts Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Can I put my chickens onto a base of gravel/pebbles? They will have access to grass to freerange under supervision for large parts of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If the gravel is fine e.g. pea shingle, then why not? I have several sections of just gravel in my garden where my chickens free range, and the chickens love flicking it all about. Also it seems to stay quite dry. I think that larger pebbles used all over their run would be a bit hard on thier feet, although the odd largish pebble is fun for them to look for worms under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
