We have 5 chickens, 8 weeks old. They have quite a good enclosure, about 9mts x 4mts. Part is built in the main open, what would be good plants or shrubs to plant along the fences that they would enjoy and would serve good purpose?
What are the best plants/shrubs to plant in a chicken coup?
Birds are ravenous eaters and very destructive. Chickens will tear apart a plant in a day. I would decorate the outside with whatever you want, but for inside, stick with cracked corn and whatever vegetable leftovers you have from the house.
Reply:if you dont move the coop they will kill most plants red fescue grass works a bout as good as any thing
Reply:Basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme. Sure, the chickens will eat the plants. Go ahead. Eat em up................. Good chickens, eat up those herbs.........heh heh heh.
Reply:I have junipers in my coop. Also, small trees work well to provide shade. Chickens will attack many plants but I have not had too much problem with them eating the junipers.
