Lambs in former chicken paddock - is it safe?
« on: October 26, 2011, 09:42:52 pm »
I have cleared mychicken paddock just over a couple of weeks back and united my flocks somewhere else, and now the lambs are trying to get into it the old one from their main field next door... the fence is a bit rickety and I think it will be only a matter of days until they succeed.

Are any worms or such like that would  make this move (quite a good amount of grass in there, and fairly green) not a good one?

I can strengthen the fence, but wouldn't actually mind if they would eat the grass down.

Can I let them in?
