Chicken and ivy
« 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

I didn't know that!  Thanks for the heads up

 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.
