Welcome Nice to have you here! Kudzu-yuck!!!! Grows fast, invasive and pretty useless.... Goats would be good if possible. Controlled burn is done here sometimes. I know some private folks have worked with fire departments, one guy made a donation and had them do a prairie burn so he could get rid of invasive plants and restore natives...

My solution: more animals! You already have chickens you minus well get some sheep and goats to keep them company.

Heya guys. I'm new to the south, and about 5 months ago set up my chicken yard. Everythings going great, but.. KUDZU!!!!
It's growing up over EVERYTHING!!
Anyone have a suggestion for how to combat it, including whatever weed killers to use that wont harm my girls?

I applied the elbow greese, via a couple hours of work with a weedeater today. The results of that worked out pretty good, lol.
Still got another hour or so to go!

Ya, goats have been something I've been consodering for the last couple months, as the problem has grown worse. I live in a semi rural/semi suburb type of neighborhood, and I've had goats before (pygmies), and like goats, but they can get a little liud in their bleating, and the chickens and rooster crowing was just close to a stretch for the neighborhood, all by themselves. Now, a couple goats (theyre herd animals, right, so two at the minimal would be healthy for them?)? That might be stretching things a bit, lol!

We've got 2 - wethers - they almost never make noise.
