My Three Chicks
Crowing
I have 4 7-month old hens that I adore. They have a 9'×24' secure run which they seem to be very happy in. But I have started giving then full access to the backyard a couple of hours a day when I can supervise them. It's not a huge yard maybe 7x the size of their run but it's got grass, lots of planters, garden, patio, dirt, bugs/grubbies, garden, etc. They love it. And today discovered my herb garden. They are scratching and pecking as they do and are making a bit of a mess (kicking mulch and dirt out of garden bed, eating/ruining grass, etc) and destroying some of my plants. I'm torn about letting them be versus trying to keep them under control if that's possible
I am not trying to keep a prestine yard but was wondering what you all do!
