Backyard Chicken Keeping

By Mark Hajdukiewicz on 10th December, 2016, filed in News

The team at Buy Fencing Direct asked if we could answer some questions on backyard chicken keeping for their Green Gardens blog and of course we were more than happy to oblige. The interview covered all the basics for anyone toying with the idea but maybe not sure if their circumstances were suitable. Anyway, as you will see, while there are a few things to consider, practically any reasonable amount of space can be used to accommodate enough birds to keep you self sufficient in eggs. You can read the full interview here: Keeping Chickens with Pocket Farm
