chooks and allotments??

[kaylis1980]

anyone take your helpers with you to the allotment??? i must have looked really crazy as people kept looking over and staring hehe. i have some weeds, mainly speedwell to remove from my allotment (only took over it on saturday!) and i took my omlet netting over and they were having great fun.... they werent as productive as i hoped as my son kept throwing worms over and then they were fixated on the spade lol. plus they are self manuring... cutting out the middle man!

anyone else done this???

Oh yes I did it last year, 1 chook at a time under my arm then go back for another one Here's Daisy and Rose "helping" last summer when I first took over the allotment. I used some orange netting that had been dumped on the site to make an enclosure and put up an umbrella for them for some shade

aww bless and you did them a nest box too! very organised.... all i remembered was a water bowl. i think mine had all laid before we got there though. was very funny walking through the allotment with my box with its window and 3 heads sticking out hehe
