This spring I intend to build a chicken moat around our garden.
The idea being the girls will have a tunnel around the perimeter so they have variation of habitat and can guard the produce.
I have so many hawks, coyotes, feral cats, et all no way the flock would survive without protection/containment.
Additionally when we did let them free range, they got into places I didn't want them.
Front porch, my cars, places I use herbicides for grass control.
It's just simpler to deal with if they are contained.
