Mereks disease question

I had to put my Polish down last weekend, the vet told me she had seen a lot of polish and silkies come down with this.  Has anyone else experienced this?See More

"The Alameda Greenhouse nursery (4th & Alameda?) carries a bunch of different types of grass seed for pastures, they will definitely be able to steer you to the right one."

"They love to scratch and dig, not just for the greens and roots but for bugs. This may sound odd, but they are just as happy scratching and digging in a pile of damp, decomposing leaves as they are in a planting. If that's not workable,…"

"I guess they will have to be satisfied with that!  One thing I did was have large pots and those were a little more difficult for them to get in.  The added benifit was I would move them occasionally and there were lots of yummy bugs…"

destructive chickens

I would like to plant in the area my chickens have access to including some boxes I used for vegetables.  But the chickens dug out every plant I had.  Is there anything that a chicken will leave alone?  Also how can I plant some kind of ground cover that chickens like but can't destroy?  is the such a thing?  I see pictures of chickens in grass covered areas but I don't think that will work with my chickens!  Anyone have any suggestions?  I would like to be able to plant some veggies they could…See More
