chicken-tolerant chicken plants?

[donrae]

Those are some great ideas! I wonder if draping the planted pyramid in bird or fish netting might work the same as your hardware cloth idea... Okay, now the gears are really turning! The area in that particular run is not much, hence why the pyramid planter is so appealing as an idea. For lack of posts, I had to run the wire in such a way as to take advantage of trees for that purpose, so it wound up kind of oblong/diamond-shaped.

My whole coop structure is placed on a hill, so I know what you mean! I didn't realize when building that chickens like to level earth, lol! I'd like to set up a chicken-operated composting system in the main run but sourcing the food scraps isn't easy. The local grocery stores put all their scrap produce into big compactors in the middle of the night. I've yet to talk to the organic store and the local restaurants.

I"m so glad I'm not the only one that's done that! Drives my honey crazy, he wants everything to be square and level and perfect. I just want somewhere to put some chickens!
