That's a great idea! Chickens love foraging, and planting some herbs and leafy greens like kale, dandelion, and clover will keep them happy. Just be sure to avoid anything toxic, like tomato plants or onions.

I've done something similar with a dedicated garden space. Some of my chickens enjoy eating peas, but others prefer dandelion greens and grass. I also recommend planting marigolds because they can help deter pests while being safe for the chickens.

My chickens love eating grass, so I've let them free-range in a section of the yard where I grow clover and dandelion. They also get some herbs like parsley and cilantro. The eggs are fantastic!

That sounds like a fun project! Chickens love fresh greens, so planting clover, alfalfa, and kale is always a great choice. I also grow some edible flowers like marigolds and nasturtiums. They help keep pests away and are safe for chickens.

I've planted a chicken garden with plants like mint, basil, and oregano. They love these, and they're really good for digestion too. The only thing is, chickens will eat just about anything, so it's important to watch them to ensure they're not eating anything harmful.

I've had great success with a chicken garden! Chickens enjoy foraging in a garden filled with plants like kale, lettuce, and dandelion. I also grow some edible flowers like nasturtiums, which are safe and add some color to their diet.
