Good morning everyone from very sunny Bristol. I'm building a fixed chicken run and converting an old playhouse (see pics on my last post). I've been looking on various sites to find the right galvanised wire mesh for the run. The run is going to be 8ft x 8ft x 6ft high with a wire top as well. so I...

Hi Bonnie, Thanks for your help. The next couple of days are going to be taken up with emptying the childrens playhouse of all of there treasures and sorting out the whole area ready for the girlies :iconbiggrin: I was thinking of using straw as a base for the coop and run. At the moment we have wee...

Hi everyone, I have an area in the garden that I want to use to keep some chickens. I'm going to convert my childrens old playhouse into the coop, but just behind the coop is a huge ivy. Is this toxic to hens? I dont want to leave any plants in the run that are going to harm the hens! Also there is ...

It was the only way of getting them back in the dark. Sorry forgot to say they were in a plastic take away box as well. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lo...

Just got back from the fishing shop and I am now the proud custodian of a wormery. I don't know who was more excited, me or my 2 children.

Aw thankyou everyone. Now going to ring my local fishing shop to see if they stock bandlings. How many do I need?

All of this came under £20

I have made the wormery out of 3 blue plastic boxes with lids. I fitted a plastic water tap to the bottom box. I then cut a hole in the bottom of the first box, a hole in the lid and bottom of the seccond box. Then fitted flat plastic draining boards to the holes. So my question is, have i done this...

Today I'm going to have another go an use brewing yeast to see if this helps, or possibly make a plant. Not sure what to do

I'm trying to work out if it's possible to make my own wormery. I have had a look on-line and in my local gardencenter, and my jaw dropped to the floor! :shock: I didn't realise how expensive they are. I posted a wanted on my local freecycle page in hope that there was one no one longer wanted. Or m...
