  • The festival season is upon us....

    or at least that is what my ex-bats must think - they have reduced the bottom half of their run to an absolute mud bath what with all the rain we have had - I thought of putting wood shavings down, but then this will just become a wood shavingy mudbath! Any ideas what might reduce the quagmire? More importantly are very muddy legs and feet likely to cause any health problems?

    I suggested to someone before that they could put a pallet (or half pallet depending on space) into the run to keep the chooks out of the mud. Don't think it is particularly good for them to have permanently wet feet but not really sure. Good luck with them.
    Happy Gardening,

      My run has turned into a swamp too, as we are being drenched by the same rain Sunbeam!
      I had pallets in there all winter and have only just removed them, worked to a degree, but the girls just walked on the mud in between the slats

      On a positive note, the met office website is forecasting a letting up of the wet stuff and a bit more of the sunshine/dryness for the end of the week.

        Why didn't I think of a pallet??!!! what a good idea - I'm pretty sure OH has something in his workshop - I wonder if he'll notice...!

          Could you gravel it? Mine have lots of grass but seem to enjoy coming to the back door and scratting through all the gravel there.

            I am seriously considering it. My run is about 30m2 so would need about a ton or more to give a deep enough coverage.
            Money tight at mo, so looking into alternatives until I can afford it.
