i have been thinking about making my whole plot into a chicken run for some time now and even more so laterly as the weather has been so pants that its making it differcult to grow anything so i called the council this morning and asked if there was any reason on why i cant not make my whole plot a chicken run and after a few minutes of umm and ahhs the woman said 'well i cant see no reason why not ' so come the end of the season i will start work on making the whole plot a run which means the little bantams will have tons of space :D :D and the part i am growing on doesnt get bogged down which means i could double membrane that area and have the girls on bark full time so they wont get muddy and yukky or better still make 4 eqaul pens which can be switched around an rested every few months i think this will make my run 33ft by 40ft plus cant remeber so will have to measure up ad no it wont cost me tons as a lot of my stuff i can get free or really cheap .
 
And you won't have to weed it either Karminski! Recon you could do well swapping eggs for veg and stuff anyway. So no need to grow anything. Except I'd put some cabbage in for them as greens for winter, or purple sprouting -neither takes much maintainance.
 
:lol: i dont anyway ;) well maybe i do once every 3 weeks or so as my plot is kept clean and tidy , i was thinking about using the bantams section for still growing veg in as thats only 33ft by 5 ft wide and all i would have to do is move thier outer fencing to the main pathway and then replace that with yarris fencing panels that i can get for free that way i dont lose out and the bantams still get a much larger area but i cant do nothing just yet so gives me plenty of time to plan things .
 
Two pens is a good sytem. One in use and one in recovery. Works well as long as the ground is not overstocked or neither pen recovers.
 
i have enough room to make 4 pens , use 2 then to rest 2 and pretty much enough housing to go round as well :lol: hopfully i will get time at work today to mark out plans :D
