Thanks for your reply, I quess I'm putting up the chicken wire then. They've eaten everything else in their part of the yard, I now have the vege garden surrounded in orchid mesh and they can't get in. The ground is all dirt now and I've only had them for 5 months. Anything green in my yard has gone
Ok I just bought a lemon tree and was thinking of planting it down where the chickens free range, will they eat the leaves of a lemon tree? should I make a chicken wire cage around the lemon tree until it is big enough for them to no longer reach the leaves?
