I actually try to keep my chickens OUT of my garden. A 3' fence worked for my orps for about 3 years. Then I got a very smart Dominique named Bubbles and a Sebright named Trouble. The fence didn't even slow those two girls down and they taught the others how to jump the fence. They decimated my broccoli and spinach first. I don't think the ate my sugar snap peas, but the chickens did scratch and accidentally pull out the roots. Any cucumbers & squash were carved out into pre-made zucchini boats. LOL I do have some raspberries along the back fence. The chickens eat the berries & bugs on the lower 1/2 and we eat the berries from the top.
I'm hoping to put up a new garden fence this year. I have most of the supplies..... just need some help with the labor. Maybe I'll host a garden party for those in the area willing to help. I'm not very strong or handy..... but I'm a great cook and it would be a fun reason to host a picnic.
