    You gotta do what works for you! :thumbsup I'd love to see pics of your grazing frames when they are ready.

    In the emergency of a natural disaster where do you move your chickens?

    Glad to have given you a useful idea :thumbsup You are right aart. The tyres are no good if you want to move the frames about. I have my tyres around the edges of the chook run which prevents the hens from undermining the fencing and gives them more places to perch so I don't intend to move...

    In the emergency of a natural disaster where do you move your chickens?

    Glad you like the idea. I've settled on using a rigid mesh to cover the top as it doesn't bend under the chicken's weight and they can't get their beaks all the way to the soil and pull the grass up by the roots. I hadn't thought of using screws and washers to secure them. Thanks for the idea...

    I'm partial to mixed breeds myself :D;) My old Greyhound did chase the chickens once early on. She had a high prey drive coupled with goofiness .:lol:

    I'd steer clear of sight hunting dogs (like greyhounds) and terriers. Because they have been bred to chase and kill small prey you will be training them against their instincts. That said my 3 dogs mostly ignore the chooks and one is a terrier x border collie. The others are a German Shepherd...

    Do you have space to make them grazing frames? This could stretch your grain further too. I have made raised beds out of old tyres in the chicken run. Herbs in the first tyre and grass in the second. I have 12 tyres in the run altogether with a mix of grass seeds and oats in most of them...

    We can get a lot of fresh growth on the native plants in Autumn and winter. With all the rain we've been having we should see an explosion of new growth.

    I’m so glad you are getting the rain too to lay all that dust. We’ll be seeing green in no time! (Provided it doesn’t flood....) :oops:

    We have a creek running through our car port at the moment and the poor chooks are sopping wet but we are thankful and managing. How are you going Wanda?

    Thanks Butterscotch. I have a couple of those to close of sections of the garden to "rest". I never thought of using them indoors. 👍

    My girls were all panting. They had watermelon and iceblocks and I hosed over the top of their favourite bush. Thank goodness we have a bit of a cool change and rain now. :yesss: I like the playpen idea. Do you have a link for it Butterscotch? I was thinking of putting my girls in the...

    Sounds like you are as ready as you can be Zen. Our photo albums and paperwork has been in the car since before Xmas too. (Don't forget to pack your birth certs and home insurance too!)
