The Roost.
The home of chicken chat
Welcome to the roost
This Group is intended for people who wish to raise chickens but we can include ducks, quail, geese in fact if it’s a bird and it shares your garden we can cover your questions and feelings here.
Why Chickens?? Well how cool is an animal that helps you compost, weeds and removes pests, makes an unusual pet and provides your family with a nourishing little gift each day I have to ask why not.
If you plant fruit trees and grow vegetables, Chicken manure is an excellent fertilizer for the garden or a valuable addition to the compost pile. They are the perfect companions for gardeners who wish to make the best possible use of all the natural resources to them.
Feel free to start a topic or ask a question and all and sundry can partake so feel welcome to contribute,
Hopefully you enjoy our conversations and get enough information to start your own project but be warned they are addictive……
