I have a small coop for 12-18 chickens, with a run about 15x25 (375 s.f.). There are currently 8 chickens, but i just ordered a bunch of chicks too. We are in S FL where the hens are comfortably outside year round, and I would like to landscape the run for their enjoyment as well as ours... Right now there is a ground cover of weeds and grass, 1 tree stump which they LOVE and 1 sad scraggly bush that they love to perch on. I want to add a fruit tree or 3, some bushes, ect.... can anyone suggest plants hardy enough for my girls. We planted a 3ft banana tree a couple of months ago, but they DEVOURED it in about 2 hours and we had to do an emergency transplant to save it! they have also devoured my aloe and mint in the past.
Any experience with (some of the plants in consideration)
passion fruit vine
papaya
lemon
tangerine
olive
blackberry
blueberry
night blooming jasmine
amaranth
cockscomb
obviously, we want to eat the fruit, and while we're happy to share with the girls, we don't want to have it all munched or ruined
