Hello from Minnesota!

[Pinusresinosa]

I just joined today... so great to be a part of another wonderful gardening community. I hail from BYC (Backyard Chickens) as I have a flock of my own snobs. Still trying to find a way to have a decent looking landscape and free rangers. But *shrug*- ah well.

Thank you for letting me join!

from another BYC transplant!!

I have so much fun - and get so much good, solid info - that I hang out here almost all the time anymore.

I too, am a BYC transplant and found the homey bunch of folks I like, right here! Welcome!

Welcome, Pinusresinosa! I had the same problem with mine (that, and I hate stepping in the poo), until this year I bought a PoultryNet electric fence and started moving them around with that. It contains them, but still gives them plenty of room to forage. Right now I've got them running loose on garden clean up duty, letting them enjoy scratching around and eating buggies before the snow flies.

Hope you'll enjoy it here on TEG. Jump right in!

Hi, and welcome aboard, from one of your southern neighbors. You may as well resign yourself to fencing in your vegetable garden, if you have one. The flower gardens....I found those ugly low wire fences to work pretty well. You know the ones that are arcs at the top? They come in black and green, and are invisible from a short distance. The chickens could fly over them if they thought about it, but chickens are not great thinkers.

Welcome! I'm new here, too. It's a nice group of folks! I'm also a chicken keeper, so I should look into BYC...
