No More Secret Peeping!

G’Day from down under FlappyFeathers :frow Welcome!

You have a beautiful garden! :clap

I used to have one until we recently moved to take care of my FIL and with his not being a gardener [actually doing nothing in the garden for over 10 years], I am currently in the throes of converting an overgrown tropical jungle in to a garden and besides the aches from hard labour, thoroughly enjoying the challenge. I do miss my garden though.

Anyways, before we moved, my gals used to free range in the garden and in addition to the water saving, I kept most things in pots with stones or wire covering the top to stop the girls digging them out. Sadly, due to the Hawk numbers here, no free range for them anymore :(

Anyways, I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.
 
:welcome:celebrate

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)

Great!
Thank you for the links... they're super helpful! I'll be referring to them often :)
 
I know, right?! Those little buggers are professional destroyers! At first I tried covering my favorite plants with wire waste baskets from the dollar store... worked ok after being staked down, but totally defeated the purpose of having pretty plants when the yard is littered with waste baskets everywhere! So eventually, with a few transplants and hours of collecting river rocks from every random place in the grass and some time to grow, yard wins! These pics are from last summer.
