yep have to agree with you. my hens over rule when it comes to me having a flower garden or them dust bathing. i have nubs for flowers now. but gotta love em.
I love it!
I have my problem solved much easier; chickens out the back yard, behind a 2 metre fence, and plants out the front yard!
the only way the chooks can get through is by a) jumping over the fence, b) walking through the house c) opening up the front door and d) trying to get past me!
Those chickens represent the feelings of a random friend-gardener that pretends to know it all and always wants to show to you how to take care of your garden, if you know what i mean.
Poor garden
i will eat any chicken that does that to my future vegetable garden at the spot, right away
