Including practical poultry tip
Chickens such as short grass and do poorly in high grass.I can see this while mowing the grass because the chickens are enthusiastic about the food view of the newly cut, hastily excited in search of insects and wonderful young plants that were revealed when the long grass was cut.
Grass has few calories, but many vitamins and proteins.Chickens can only digest grass if it is young and still light green.When it starts to fade, they lose interest.
Physically high grass is an obstacle for those who prevent them from walking where they want.It also activates annoying behavior such as laying eggs in the grass instead of nest houses and encouraging them to hunt and hide instead of running when they are afraid when they are afraid, which evokes the possibility that they are theAllow tractor to run down.I only killed a chicken with the mower once.That was enough.
In the good old days, some research was done in these lines and the grass to mow up to two centimeters as optimal.Inches were too high.
I am a big fan of permanent grazing (never plowing, never resumed) because it combines the smallest amount of work with the maximum amount of grassland.So I am not on which plants would be best if you started with a pleated field.Plant a grass or clover at this time of the year that stays green all summer and performs well if you fall back to two centimeters.Say good if it is just as short.

Again, I was swept away by raccoons.It took less than a month after my chickens arrived to kill them all.Until I can get some beef or another grazing animal to keep the grass in my grass, with buried horse fence.
Answer
To follow up, I decided that I would not be defeated.I have a new batch of 25 pullet chickens from Privett to deal with the only survivor of the massacre that I remain safe and healthy.
I ordered and received electric plummeting, where I mowed the grass around the net and around the chicken tractor.
If my problem was flower, this should solve it.If it were nerts, that might not be the case, and I should catch Mink.We find out soon enough, I think.
