Chicken Run

[Solitaire]

I've really got the grow your own bug and now want to get a few chickens

I have an area next to the veggie patch that is approx 18 x 20 foot, would this be big enough for a hen house and 4 chickens ??

I can also wire of the veggie area and let them in there when nothing is growing.

Certainly would be!

As long as they get a bit of sunlight and shade each day!

Unfortunately at my local allotment site chooks are consigned to areas which are useless for crops and are devoid of sunlight. Then the chookholders wonder why they get NO eggs!

I KNOW your proposed area isn't sun les though!

Where I want to put the Ladies has sun in the summer from the morning until the evening when it goes behind the trees and will always so sun in the winter.

Only thing is I need to find away of anchoring down the hen house in case we have another bad storm like we had this winter
