My barns and coop are about 400 feet from my house. Around the house my wife has a lot of $$$$ into flowers and plants......she has a beautiful flower gardens on all sides of the house.
At first the chickens stayed out by the barns and coop......they slowly made their way ever closer to the house, and for a while we didn't mind them in the shrubs and mulch......but yesterday my wife came home to the chickens destroying her flower beds.....flowers dug up everywhere.....
Don't get her wrong....she likes the chickens just fiine, even likes to pet and hold them from time to time......she asked if there was something we could spray on the plants that would keep the chickens out of them flower gardens she prizes so much.
So until I find something that will keep them out of all her flower gardens....their free ranging, flower destroying, poopin on the sidewalk days are done.....locked in the coop.
I could build a run, but I really preferred letting them go wherever they pleased on our farm, woods, lawn......anywhere but those flower gardens.
Anyone have any ideas?........
