They came, they saw, they destroyed!!!

My chickens do that everyday to my flower beds. The don't hurt the plants just dig through the mulch. I have noticed they are after grubs. That is a plus. I does drive my husband nuts which I find funny because I do the gardening.

That looks like it would be a very neat, pretty garden. Leave it to chickens to help you re-design.

they made is chook fung-shway (sp?) but I believe that is the proper way to spread multch, we humans do not understand their techniques.

Exactly. It's the precise foot-scratching technique that has been handed down to chickens from the first cave chickens. We humans are just too inept to learn.

LOL. Now if I can only get them to practice this ancient foot-scratching technique in reverse where they put it all back...that would be ideal.

Because most certainly, even though I swept all of the mulch back in to the garden, covered the holes, and righted a few plants...they'll be back to re-design in a few days.

This would be a great show for HGTV: Yard Chrashers -- Back Yard Chicken Style.

AW, that's nothing. My chickens have done MUCH worse!

Mine are into raking leaves- I am still trying to devise a long row harness, so thay all rake in the same direction!

BTW, don't ever leave a bale of hay or straw where they can get to it! My front porch and walk are all straw covered now. Looks quite charming!

Think of all the bugs they ate while you sweep it all back where it belongs.
