Default Chickens killing my garden

... moving chicken houses


Following the thread I gather that chickens don't like their home being
moved. I'm planning on making moveable timber shed big enough for three
or four chickens. On wheels. How far can it be moved without upsetting
the chickens? I thought it would be a good idea to have a mesh floor and
be able to move it a few feet so the droppings fall on fresh ground.
I don't know much about chickens at the moment. I plan to make the
chicken house and get chickens sometime in the Spring of next year.

David I am a mere novice in keeping chickens. Christina is the person
to ask and also I believe Sally keeps hens. I know Mary Fisher used
to have an Eglu and kept chickens but Mary hasn't posted here for a
while. I sent an email to Omelet today, who make the Eglu, as someone
on another group, not Tina, said something about keeping my hens the
way I do that concerned not just me but my husband who is now reading
everything on Omelet's website. I have sent Omelet her post and
asked them to comment. I'm sure Omelet will be concerned about her
comments as it could well affect their reputation and sales. I will
ask for literature to back up any claim they may make, if there is
only a small doubt that the way I keep chickens is damaging, I will
go along the route of a fixed house and ask Tina for advice so that
they have total freedom during the day.
