Well, this is quite an interesting thread! I'm smack dab in the beginning of landscaping my back yard and the chickens are a major deciding factor on where and what.
I've got various desert plants in their yard, that they are never in except to pick at one particular favorite bush for whatever reason. Must be delicious.
We have a small lemon tree and a potato bush that they hang out under with plans for a second apple tree, dwarf apricot and one more chilean mesquite to go in this fall.
We have some grass out there, chicken poop has been great for that! We purchased some sort of eco turf seed with clover and yarrow in it to plant in fall when it's cooler. Also got a mix for xeriscape areas that's like a ground cover and can grow a foot tall or so.
Once the over story and grass is in, veggie areas, blueberries, artichokes and herbs will go in next.
I have 17 pages to read now, better get busy!
