I am nearly finished with my coop for getting chicks in the Spring. In another post, I read that chickens and oak leaves/acorns do not mix! On Noes!
Does anyone here have any experience with free ranging around oaks?
I thought I had researched every possible aspect of raising chickens and now... oh my, my wife's going to freak if I've spent all of this time (and money!) on getting into this and it's going to be detrimental to the health of my flock.
My oaks corn every other year, not too heavily and the squirrels and bluejays get most of the mast, but some do hit the ground.
Any advice much appreciated!
