Hello,
I am planning to have a couple of chickens in my urban garden. Would appreciate some advice.
We do not want Chickens to take over the garden so think 2 will be enough. Want to keep minimise maintenance so thinking of going for an Omlet Go Up or something.
We are thinking of creating a space at the end of our garden and would appreciate some ideas on how to best prepare this space.
My initial thoughts are:
- Breakout half of the patio area
- How should I prepare the ground?
-- Add wood chips to subsoil?
-- Add gravel and then chips?
-- Weed membrane?
-- Turf the area and move the run around the garden?
There are foxes in the area so was thinking of getting the Omlet Go Up with 2m run which seems very fox proof for night. Will then construct a fence (1m ish) that can be moved to create an area for them to wander in the day.
Lots of ideas at the moment so help to converge towards a preferred option is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matthew
