hi all
i got myself allotment and i want to keep bees and chickens on it
when i got the welcome pack it had in it about keeping chickens and bees on the plot that its ok to do this it do say that i have to inform the council that im keeping chickens and bees on the plot and they will send someone out to check that im doing it right for the birds and bees not got a problem with that at all.
anyway i been talking to other plot owners about there plots and told them my plans to keep chickens and bees on there and all of them seem fine about it and some have already said they love some eggs of me (swops veg for eggs) great so i thought
i was there yesterday and site wardon came down to have a chat
and told me that they been a couple of people conserns about me keeping bees and chickens on the plot
i asked what the concerns was about and she said rat and other pest and getting stung with bees i laugthed
thinking she was jokeing she was not
i told her that im not doing anything wrong the council are trying to encourage bee keeping and as for the chickens. the hen house will get cleaned out every three days and the run once aweek
as for rats they are on the allotments with or without chickens on
she not going to stop me she was just letting me know of the concerns
all of this is before i even got bees and chickens
on the plot
because this is the first year that the council are allowing allotmenters keep live stock on the plots. i think couple of people are finding the changes to much i guess.
now i got some concerns myself if i got people complaining now whats going to happen when i put chickens and bees on my plot
do i still go with my plans or scrap them
would rearly like to here your comments on this matter
thankyou
(sorry was not to sure where to post this)
