Some really useful threads here about chicken keeping. I hope I don't repeat what's already been said. I am thinking about getting two small chickens for our garden, as pets and for eggs. Ds is 18 months and I'm a sahm, so we're at home a fair bit.
My questions are;
Garden is about 5x5m, and on quite a slope. Is it possible to keep them in that space? Pic attached. I was thinking about turning the border where the tent is into their run.
Does an eglu work on sloping ground? (The run?)
Are they very noisy? I'm in a suburban housing estate.
What is your daily routine with them?
Any tips for a novice? I'm going on a course to handle them and get as much info as possible, but the more tips the better!
