How do I keep my chickens out of my flower beds??

[Hep44]

My chickens like to tear up my wood chips while foraging, and they like to lay in them as well. Are there any plants or anything I can use to deter them from these areas? They're kinda making a huge mess....

Put chicken wire over your flower beds

Put chicken wire over the flower beds. You can also get electric wire that is the lowest voltage so when they touch it they feel something and move away. If you get a high voltage electric wire it could kill them.

Put a fence around it.

Fencing is the only thing!
