Are you digging those whole for birds or they doing it?

They dig them, looking for cool dirt to lay in and bathe.

Your soil must easier to dig. Mine have a hard time getting down more than an inch. Very hard clay here.

[centrarchid]

Yes, but pens need to be moved more often as grass get tore up quicker.

You're moving the pens and the rocks?

Just pens over gravel. About 15 pens straddle edge of graveled drive. I left vegetation un-cut to provide shade on south side of pens.

I don't think wild vegetation is adequate shade man, there's always heat that you have to account for.

The shade provided by the vegetation keeps a strip of ground the birds can move to while contacting intact vegetation cover on the ground. The have overhead shade provided by inorganic materials like tin sheets and shade cloth. They can use both plus access sun when they want.

Feel temperate of soil that is bare and compare it to that which is vegetation covered right next to it.

Check this out next time you cover a pen.
