I'm very lucky to have very thick areas and a lot of them for my hens. The only issue now, is they can cut their feet.:/. I'm dealing with bumble foot. Ugh.
We have thorny bushy tress that take over our woods. Our hawks are very abundant here too. I hear and see them daily, but I always have an eye on my flock! It's like watching my own kids outside. We just planted a nice weeping willow trees(3) to suck up some of the swamp and keep cover for the girls!
I should take pictures, there are areas the hens go to that I can not reach. They watch the sky and see the hawks before I do.
They also run from ducks, blue herons, and geese that fly over. Last year they never went in these areas.
They stick in a group. My hens are now really fat from all the worms and grubs. It's too thick that I'm unable to use netting. The not so thick parts are tall grass.
I just dusted them with Sevin 2 days ago, so they don't have any ticks. I keep DE mixed with Sevin in the run for dusting at all times.
