Hey everyone!! I need help!! In the last month and a half my flock has gone from 68 birds to 30!!!!! due to childrens' dogs (which we are finding new homes for) and neighbors dogs!! (which the sheriff said we couldn't shoot because although we caught the dog in the act of killing my birds (and it's owner confessed that it's gotten my birds before, unless we shoot it "in the act" it would be animal cruelty and the owner seems to forgetting to chain the dog) I am having to temporarily fence my girls in. They were NOT happy with me this morning - but better ticked off than dead!! Anyhow, my run is completely devoid of any type of vegetation, either for bugs or for camouflage. They've been allowed to free range on 5 acres, so up til now their bare run hasn't been an issue. Can those of ya'll who have been doing this for awhile help with what type of plants I can put in there? My co worker has offered me some angel trumphets and a Catalpa tree and I'm having trouble finding out whether or not the catalpa is poisonous to poultry. I'll be doing major work in there there is weekend tilling up and planting grass seed (the run is about at LEAST 400 sf, so I've got plenty of room to play with to plant stuff. I'm just looking for stuff that will hold up well in with our heat, so I figured my peeps here in Texas would best be able to help me!!
Oh and I found a person to buy Marans from!! Thanks everyone for the tips!! I'll post pics when I finally get them.
