Has anyone found any method (other than confinement) of protecting your landscaping from the chooks?
Our chickens (3 ISA Browns, 1 BCM Roo) have a 1x3 meter 2 story aviary/tractor style coop, and I let the free range on 2000 ACRES EVERY DAY!!!!! So why, why, why must they eat my petunias and geraniums????????
Thus, my dilemma. Does anyone have any sort of home made concoctions that they spray on the nice plants to keep the chickens away? They are making me a bit crazy right now because they can literally go anywhere on the property they want, but they beeline for the garden beds. My backup plan is electric poultry netting, but I would like to allow them to run around as they please if possible.
Cheers,
Natalie
