Garden Plants And Chickens: How To Protect Plants From Chickens

Garden Plants And Chickens: How To Protect Plants From Chickens

Last Modified April 12, 2017 By Staff Writer

If you have chickens and a garden, you want to chicken-proof your plants without harming the chickens. Obviously, keep your chickens and your garden a safe distance apart. An easy way to do that is to build a fence of chicken wire. This is a no-brainer for your vegetable garden since there will be fresh, tender seedlings appearing. If you don’t want to use chicken wire, hedges, well-placed rocks and trellising can also work. Chickens love bare patches of dirt, so be sure to have a dust bath area far away from the garden for your chickens to frequent.

Key Takeaways:

  • There’s nothing like a freshly laid egg for breakfast.
  • For this reason and because more and more people are concerned about how their food is grown, urban chicken farming is all the rage.
  • Chickens scratch to get at bugs, often a boon to the gardener, but all that aggressive scratching can wreak havoc on tender plants.
