    Whats good for the dog? will it work for the chickens?

    Well .... Still planning my backyard chicken estate. Can I keep the "girls" in the same area with some of my vegetables? or will they peck them to death? One friend suggested raised beds but I really wanted to make the whole thing chicken loving and not go through the cost of raised beds. Is...
