Benefits of Chickens for Your Garden

A chicken in a vegetable gardenEvery now and again, a naughty chicken will escape into the vegetable patch. Also every now and again I let them in there on purpose. They do scratch about a bit and nibble at the leaves, but they don't do as much damage as the little bugs that they pick off and eat. It's free nutrition for the birds and better eggs and less damage from caterpillars and the like, plus a little extra fertilizer in the process!

Your practice is older than dirt. It works and it works well. Good to see it on ThriftyFun.
