Stickers!

[WatkinsCluckers]

Has anyone had issues with their free range chickens when it comes to grass stickers/burrs/goat heads? I live in Texas and every yard has some sort of sticker down here. I haven’t allowed my chickens out their run yet because I’m concerned that they’ll get hurt walking in the grass. Has anyone run across this? If so, has it affected your flock?

Now I'm wondering too...

It’s an interesting thought! I tried to google it, but couldn’t find anything.

Don’t know the answer although I suspect their feet are pretty tough. I’d be inclined to cut em loose to see if they’ll eat them.
