You might consider adding a fenced veggie area for the chickens too, it really pays off. We just reconfigured the space to allow for fencing and a gate, next to the coop. Pretty easy and we used a lot of recycled fencing, but made it look nice...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-57334634103894992712013-02-09T15:19:39.413-08:002013-02-09T15:19:39.413-08:00I love your blog!

It really helps me relieve stress and feel calm and happy. <br /><br />Glad you are getting eggs regularly again. Chickens really are pretty easy to take care of once you get the hang of it.

I read a blog the other day about companion planting and I commented about Bob Flowerdew who used to be on the TV over here. It's about planting food and flowers together and you don't need to use pesticides. So that comment has made me think about this again. Take care.

There are of course rules and regulations you have to follow. I think it would be so cool to do that, but, we have two basset hounds that would also love the chickens.
