Silkiekeeper - I probably should, but don't. They don't seem all that interested in rye grass seed. And I rake the area and try to lightly cover the seed with soil.
I also didn't mention the thompson grapes planted around the outside. They grow like weeds, and the chickens absolutely love the leaves AND the grapes.
Is there something in your area that you fight to keep out of your grass and gardens? If so, plant that, assuming it is safe for your chickens.
nice. i like your set up.I try to fight the good fight. I always have a bag of rye grass seed. I sprinkle some new seed around every two weeks, and water every day. I try VERY hard to keep grass in the pens, sometimes I think I just don't learn the lesson... This doesn't look too bad as the pen had a couple month break before getting a new set of chicks. Grass is looking worse by the day... but never completely dies out. Looks better in winter (I'm in CA - desert-ish in summer)
