Once you have chickens you have to read every label and ask questions about anything and everything you aren’t sure of.

Our motto is: if it’s green and grows, we’ll mow it.
We don’t put anything on the yard.

If weeds get big I hand weed. Or kill them with vinegar. Small ones just get cut by the lawnmower, and bagged most times. Then the bagged greens get dumped for the chickens to eat/scratch through/compost

Chickens are natural fertilizers, if you only have a few and plan on free ranging at least part of the day.

If you have more than a few chickens and are freeranging on say 3/4 of an acre or less... in a year’s time you won’t have any grass to worry about,




...because they’ll have eaten it all anyway.

Chickens are little solar-powered eating/pooping/egglaying MACHINES!

Oh wow. Somebody really needs to name a flock after lawn mower brands and the rooster can be named John Deere!

Oh good gosh. I crack myself up sometimes!
Slappin one of these on my own post:
Yup. I do this every once in a while.

Lol thats funny! Well I have two old hens or I should say a hen and a rooster, because apparently when some hens get old they can basically turn into a rooster... she crows, treat calls and has spurs, you name it she does it so I think I need to get more chickens to keep the lawn looking good hahaha. I definitely plan on doing the vinegar again this year. Seems like you have to use a ton of it though ugh
