Chickens and hydroseed?

[Korzak]

Hi there, we have three hens, and we’re about to have a big part of our yard leveled and then hydroseeded. The hydroseeding lays down a liquid mulch layer that then sprouts. Supposedly birds won’t eat it.

Question is, will my girls scratch the bejeezus out of it, or leave it alone?

Anyone have experience in this situation?

Thanks!

Fresh turned earth? Fresh laid interesting substance?

My money is on it being a very fun thing to scratch around in.

Keep them out of that, or save your money, cause they will destroy it, especially if it starts to sprout. Our grass is just turning green, and my birds are chasing it.
