    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: You said 'annoying/spreading' type plants, would that include Vincia, Kudzu and Periwinkle or can chickens have those??? We have all three on the other side of our lawn. The KUDZU is my worst enemy and I would LOVE to have a goat to eat it all, but the Vincia and Periwinkle are...

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: So is the hardware cloth stapled/nail down all the way around? Can you lift it to put in more see or do you just throw the seed in and let it go? Is that all you put in is grass? I read one post on BYC some time ago that someone actually planted leaf lettuce and some other veggies...

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: I do a very similar thing, but I grow wheat grass in dish pans that I get at the dollar store for my rabbits. Each hutch has three on top so that I can rotate them. Grows quick and easy and the critters love it! Well I have a bunch of dish pans that I was using for another purpose and...

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: Where did you buy these pans and what did they cost? I have been looking all over for something similar so I can turn over a paint bucket and make an auto waterer. My husband bought those at Home Depot in the garden department.. Are these like the ones they sell in the pet department...

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: That is what I figured about the sod. Right now we don't even have dandelines to pull up, I have no idea why?? Last year we couldn't get rid of them, now there are none. We will actually be digging up our whole front yard soon to try to even it out, so there won't be any grass at all...

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: I am doing a lot of container gardening this year, so I will give the wheat grass a try. We don't have any trees, the kudzu killed the only 2 we had so they had to be cut down about 3 years ago. We do have one store that will give cabbage leaves and such, but you have to be there at a...

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: There is no room in our front yard for a tractor, even a small one. The run we have now is as big as we can go, we still have to build our rabbit's hutch out there. Our front yard is VERY small and when you factor in kids toys, it's even smaller. LOL Thanks for the idea though.

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: There is actually a sod farm down the street from us, maybe I could get a few squares or a roll (not sure how it comes) from them. Thanks for that idea. But what if it is chemically grown?? I don't want my chicks to eat anything that is not good for them.

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Quote: Okay I was having a blonde moment when I read salad bar. I was thinking how do you keep them from eating the seeds?? Duh! I am already going to put a little sandbox in for them, not sure if I will have room for both. The run is 8 feet long, but only 4 feet wide not including what is...

    how to get grass to grow in the run?

    Our chicks are NOT ALLOWED to free range outside the run, too dangerous. But they are constantly wanting grass and our yard really doesn't have a lot in it right now, we do have clover which they like and we pull it for them, but they sit by the sides of the run and try to get their beaks...
