[luvchicksannmoore]

are bush stumps dangerous in run?

hello and welcome! in my opinion - i think they can hurt their feet on them , maybe even twist an ankle or something.

Yes, they can cause bumblefoot if they are walking and jumping on them. I would try as hard as you can too remove them or place the run/coop somewhere else.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

We removed some bushes with a four-wheel drive vehicle and a heavy chain. I'm sure there are other ways with come-alongs etc., but that sure makes some nice dirt piles once you get those out. Chickens love it!

Welcome to BYC. Biggest danger is you tripping over them.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I think they'd have fun digging around them. I'd leave them.

Chickens are like toddlers, some will get into trouble, others will behave. If you find these stumps are causing trouble, then remove them, if they don't, less work for yourself.

That was my first thought...not so much about the chickens, but I'm likely to be the one tripping over or injured on those!

It would be me as I'm still troubled with a broken rib from early November of 2023. Didn't see a stick of wood in some tall grass while herding some crazy chickens that didn't want to go into their coop late one afternoon.
