Vertical Garden and Chickens

[Mayokay]

Does anyone know of a vertical garden that can be used with chickens? I’m imagining a system similar to Mr. Stacky, but stackable pots mounted above, chickens roaming beneath. Chickens can jump/fly to the pots, but if the pots are uncomfortable enough to land on the ledge or there’s not enough space, perhaps they will stay off?

Interesting idea. Maybe I will see if I can rig up something myself!

Do you want them to have access to the plants, or not? Not completely sure if you're hoping to give them some fresh forage, or hoping to be able to grow things nearby that they can't get into.

If the former, check out this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-food-tower.1480872/

I was just going to suggest that thread too! You beat me to it!

I don’t want them to have access, but I don’t mind them eating a few off the bottom. I have some young fruit trees and they’ve been pecking off the bottom leaves.

Ahh, sorry I misunderstood. Best option to protect any plants near chickens is simply fencing them off. Chicken wire would be appropriate for that.
