grygon replied to PCM's discussion Mereks disease question in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"I had an ooooold rooster with it for years but he was fairly functional so I didn't realize it until after his death. I had a LOT of chicks come down with it one year. One or two came out of it, the rest I ended up euthanizing…"

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

PCM replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"I love the Alameda Greenhouse. I'll look for the grass seed there. I'm looking forward to giving my girls a greener place to roam.
Thanks for the suggestions! "
Whitney Buchanan replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"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."
PCM replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"Thanks! Thats a good idea. What is a good pasture grass and do you know if I can get it at a nursery?"
Whitney Buchanan replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"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,…"
PCM replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"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…"
Nicole Gramlich replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"There is nothing a chicken will leave alone. If it's green, they're going to eat it. :) Your best bet is to fence off whatever garden or plants you have that you want to be able to grow. Then, once the plants start…"
PCM replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"No Roosters, just three hens, an easter egger, a bramah, and a polish. I am going to put up better fencing but I was hoping someone had some experience with something that would outlast the chicken scratching. They really liked my bell…"
Ted Schreier replied to PCM's discussion destructive chickens in the group ABQ Chicken Keepers"My girls weren't interested in Tomatoes unless they were Really Small.
This year I'm gunna put up a 4' fence [just the Orange Construction Barrier] to keep them out of the Garden.
What variety of Birds do you have? Rooster/s??

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
