plants for the run...

[Rooneytune]

I am looking for some kind of plan that I can put in the run for a little shade and maybe a place for my low hen on the totem pole to have a little camouflage. Is there anything I can plant that would be safe for them and from them?

Fruit trees. See my BYC page for pics of my setup. I've planted Illinois Everbearing mulberry trees for shade and food when I originally built the coop a couple decade ago. I've since planted apples and persimmons to extend the free food dropping season. I also plant tomatoes and squash in cages to grow up into a trellis each year for the same reason.

wow... that is an amazing set up! I wish I had that much room!
