My husband stumbled across this wonderful idea a couple of months ago now, a chicken moat.
We're going to build a fence around our vegetable garden and then put a second layer of fencing around that for the chickens to run around in. We will also attach our chicken coop to their fence so they have shelter. This will keep the deer, rabbits, and a lot of the bugs out of our garden! It will also keep the weeds downs, because the chickens eat the weeds too! We will basically be starting a new flock of hens in the springtime, so in the spring of 2015 we should have lots of eggs to go around!
We've been working on getting our corner posts in and now the corners are done!
We also pulled one of our big gates from the back of the house and repainted it to use for this project.
Time to get the T-posts and the actual fencing to keep going with this project. More updates to come!
