We originally got some chickens to care for the garden and eat the potato beetles but they are also very destructive so we built fences in the end to keep them out. One fence could be opened when the potatoes got bigger and the beetles began showing up but you have to leave room for them to walk in between in order for them to do it. Oh so much to learn from our attempts to grow our own food.
Thank you. Summer time is here and everything is growing. All I need are chickens and a coop.
