RE: Green space for chickens
What plants do you give them? There's a jasmine vine up one side of their run that they pick at. Seems that is safe for them. We will try seeding some areas. A while back we were down to one hen and the run got quite overgrown. I found a load of eggs in there when I cleared it
Our chickens are fed as much pelletized food as they want. We then periodically give them Scratch (barley, oats & corn). We also try to give them fresh greens from the garden everyday (summer/fall).
What we do under the wire frames is spread the scratch out and let it grow. Once it is a fair size, we remove the frame and let them enjoy it.
