    Gardens and chickens living harmoniously

    We started to free range out chickens this year and quickly realized why the previous owners kept them cooped. They destroy the garden. We have several beds of flowers and all are desomated. Any tips and tricks on how to keep them out? Id love to keep free ranging them.

    Quarentine

    Thinking about getting another 8 1/2 month pullet as 3 out of 7 chicks turned out to be roos. I dont have an extra coop to quarentine her. The extra coop is being used for 4 4 1/2 month old silkies. Should I try to integrate the silkies to quarentine the new pullet? Anybother ideas?
