I just couldn't throw any away, might get together with neighbours next year, we coul...

Now just need to figure how to have a door in!! am planning on using 1 as a roof as chucks will be place at the bottom of a bank and we have seen Mr fox around during the day. How far can foxes jump?

Me too veg stock powder is fab and yeast free which is what my hubby requires!

I'm thinking of ex battery girls. I have been donated an ex playshed for them to sleep in, possibly have some building site panels to fence them in. I was after the cost of mash/pellets corn etc Will need some time to build the run etc but my small daughter has started pre school and i want some one...

This will make watering easier and less wasteful as the water will go straight to the roots and encorage the roots to travel ...

A fellow freecycler asked for some space to keep his bees and i've responded. He's attented a course and i think he's joined the association, it's just that a lot of hives around here have been desamated by this virus. :cry: Thank you again everyone for your comments, i'm sure i'll be asking for mor...

Thank you all for the warm welcome and advice,we might locate the bees on a flat roof so the chucks can't raid their hard work. However getting the bees is looking less likley as their are not many around due to the virus. But i'm getting slightly obsessed with keeping chickens and am dreaming about...

Hi to everyone.
