Plants inside coop

[Mrsfoote]

So I was thinking of getting a small planter and placing like 3 or 4 kitty grass plants inside do you think the chickies would like that????

They think they would love it! But it would be gone before you could blink. What we do is throw all of our scraps down there and grass clippings. They love it!!

They would love that for all of the 5 minutes that it took them to eat and destroy the plantings.

We just took a chunck out of our yard for ours and they've already destroyed the stalks. Maybe the roots will take?

plant the roots and put an inverted wire basket over the roots. The grass can grow up out of it, but the birds can't destroy the roots. I saw that a couple days ago here on BYC and that guy's ingenuity and set-up were amazing.
