I've managed to persuade my husband into letting me have some Chickens. In fact, unsurprisingly, he's actually rather keen now!
I've just bought the starting with Chickens book, as I am a complete novice. But we have a question that needs answering as soon as , please. We've just cleared a area at the top of the garden which is approx 30 metres square, now some of this we will allocate to a hen house and outside area for them, the other bit will be for a greenhouse.
The hen house will be in a fixed position, so what is the best material for the floor of their outside area?
Also while I'm at it... :oops:
I'm looking at maybe four hens, so how much room would they need inside and out given the area we've got to play with?
Would it be ok to let them roam the rest of the garden ( it is secure) ?
Thanks in advance Parsnip ( Sue) x
