Title: Chicken and ivy
Post by: knightquest on June 12, 2010, 10:16:29 pm

Any reason why chickens can't go near ivy?

Been trying to work out how to build a fence around the stuff but life would be sooo much easier if they can go into it.

Thanks,
Ian

 Ours free range we have ivy all over the place we've never had any problems. Most animals /poultry are far smarter than we give them credit for.
