What type plants, if any, have y'all planted in your run. We have a run, (pen really) with 1500 sqft. we have planted 3 knock out roses, 1 leland cyprus, and 1 butterfly bush. When our chicks freeranged, they seemed to like these plants more than others in our yard. Since the dog attack and haveing to pen our chicks, we thought we would let them have the plants they seemed to like. our roses are not quite big enough for them to hide under and hunt bugs. right now we have the roses fenced out. crazy chicks would dig they up if not. the leyland and butterfly bush seem to be taking the abuse in stride. They are somewhat small now, but wait until next year. the chicks will love them. The leyland could get too big and have to be cut, but thats down the road a little.
