Chickens vs grass

Remember this?

Chicken on the grazing box grass

One week later, this is all that is left:

Not much grass left

And today, it’s almost all gone:

Grass almost gone

That’s why we don’t let the chickens free-range outside their run!

Chickens 1. Grass Nil.
You could always buy a bigger section, & fence it in strips – they do that with sheep and cattle.

  I’ll reseed the grazing box in spring. Then they can nibble the grass without destroying it. If they can scratch at it, the grass couldn’t grow fast enough unless I had hundreds of strips.
