a piece of advice...

When raising free-range chickens, please keep in mind that these chickens really do forage for food. If you have any plants or areas you wish the chickens would leave alone, protect these plants/areas by putting barriers that prevent the chicken from getting near the plants or area. Bounty Fresh Free-range chickens innately/naturally wants to forage and will do so instinctively without any regard as long as they have access to the plant or area. So if you don't want to incur the wrath of your mom because your chickens ate her plants or the chickens ruined a patch of ground because  they were dust bathing, better keep them away from it :) now, i have some explaining to do to my landlady why some of her sweet tamarind seedlings are devoid of leaves...uh oh...
