Hi PaulR

We've got 4 chickens in an Omlet Cube. We found if you didn't move the run everyday the grass would be scratched up. When you move it you're also left with a piles of chicken poo to sweep up so the children don't trample over it. I find it's better to put them in a fixed area and put something down that they can scratch through looking for worms and bugs. I sometimes use leaves, which I later use as leaf mould, bark, straw, hemcore, etc. You still have to move them occasionaly as the ground can become foul. Unless you have a run that you can separate into 2 areas and let one recover whilst using the other.
