Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well. In our chicken enclosure (it's relatively big so there's a lot of blank space) I want to plant some flowers in a vacant bed we have, but every other plant I've tried planting there has either been eaten to the stem, or it was just poisonous in general. Do any of you have any recommendations for plants that chickens won't bother too much and aren't poisonous?
Thanks and Best Wishes,
- Julia

My chickens don’t eat my coneflower, hollyhocks, lupine, pretty much any zone 4 plants except the hostas that have a white border on the leaves, otherwise they don’t touch hostas.
You may have to put chicken wire around the plants until they are fully established.
Another idea is hanging pots, you can rotate them around as the chickens snack on the plants or herbs.
