My chickens free range most of the day and for the most part, stay where they belong, eating bugs, grass, etc. I have learned what chickens LOVE-ie, tomatoes, clematis vine, sedums, strawberries, etc.....
I have a flower bed close to the house that they love to scratch in-just in one corner. They have eaten (devoured) four varieties of sedum and keep coming back for the sad, few surviving shoots. I need ideas for plants chickens don't like to eat. I have discovered (completely by accident) that they will not eat pennyroyal, snow on the mountain, sweet potatoe vine, astilbe or hostas.
Can anyone add to the list??? I guess I need to plant things they won't eat in my flower bed, and things they like in the chicken garden.
