Bannon Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Like most I suspect, our chicken run looks rather barren. Even with just two hens nothing it seems has a chance to grow. My question is - is there anything I can plant that chicks are not keen on and that will provide em' with a bit more shade in the future. I'd need to fence it off during early growing of course. Any ideas guys? The Mrs suggested bamboo - but I'm not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I've got a curry plant and a little eucalyptus tree in their run. I think the eucalyptus also helps with keeping bugs away, but anyway the chickens enjoy scratching round the roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Conifers may stand a chance I have euonymous, photonia, lavendar, and a pretty pale green shrub with blue flowers + sumach they haven't touched yet. (?sp all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
