I would like to keep chickens on my allotment, & would welcome advice on security & if it is possible to grow your own feed for 2-3 chickens. As an enthusiastic newcomer I would welcome all advice. Thank you, Neill.

Hi Neil,
We have all our chickens on land away from our house and sell to alot of people that keep chickens on there allotments. All you can do is build your fences as high as poss and dig the wire under the ground so mr fox cant dig in, and always shut them away every night.
As for food, you could feed them all your excess veg and maybe grow some corn. But they would really need to be fed layers pellets if you want a good steady egg surply.
Hope this helps,
Ang

Hi Neill,as mentioned above,more people are keeping hens on their allotments.Either down to undersized gardens,or company whilst spending time at the allotment.We have supplied hen houses to several allotments and always advise having a complete enclosed run (including roof),also perhaps a row of slabs or mesh around the entire run.That and making sure they are safely in at night should ensure happy mornings.
