We've already built the base for the hen house and will be building upwards this weekend hopefully. Since we have a whole acre to play with (no, we're not loaded, we live abroad where land is cheaper! ), we're thinking of enclosing quite a large area for them around the hen house to wander in. Got a few questions ... do they like apples to eat? We have loads of apple trees and there are still lots left on thr ground even now. Would be great if that was free food for them in the future. Also, has anyone made or used something to carry/move chickens in? We thought we'd vary their grazing areas and move them from their enclosure to another bigger enclosed area down the garden. Do you think it would be difficult to get them in to it? Or can we just shoo them down the garden. We don't want to have to enclose the veg patch, which they would have to walk past to get to the other grazing area (does that make sense?)
