Peter Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 At the age of 70 I was given permission to have chickens by my family not that I needed there permission. I checked my deeds and contacted the council about the bylaws and all was ok. I started building the coop/hut (sorry Egiu Cube) in January but also had to make a fence on top of the existing wall to stop them escaping. (you can see I screwed my glove to the post).

Cat tails Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Looking sharp Peter! I had a chuckle over your glove though! Especially since my dad did something rather similar not long ago with a beam and a ladder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Welcome! I got my first chickens 10 years ago as a 60th birthday present. They open up,a whole new world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 That looks like a nice spot for chickens Peter. We have ours on lawn in front of the house; saves cutting it as well. One thing worth mentioning. Before you put chickens on grass it needs to be cut very short, the reason being because sometimes they gorge on it (if they haven't been reared on grass) and if it is long it will impact their crop.

mullethunter Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 🤣 I love that you screwed your glove to the post - that’s the sort of thing I would do. I thought you said you were a carpenter 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
