Dusting in my flower beds!!!

[marie_martin]

Is there a way to keep the chickens from dust bathing in the flower beds? They are kicking all the mulch out of the beds. I love them and it is cute but that is a lot of work they are destroying??? Any hints.

They love flower beds. They love bark dust. I haven't found anything to work other than keeping them in a fenced run. I am interested to read if anyone else has any ideas.

ummmmm why dont you just provide them with a nice mulch pile of there own so they dont use the flower bed one?

I know mine (once they find a spot they like) seem to go back to it. so if you can convince them that THIS is a better spot for them, they are likely to leave your flower bed alone.

thanks, that is a great idea. I need to just make them their own flower bed, lol. Thanks.
