How do you keep them out of the garden?
um... chicken wire :)
Oh, who asked you about the obvious? Actually, in
thinking back on family members who have had chickens and
gardens, I don't remember any who fenced the garden - they
fenced the chickens. But yeah, either should work.
i fence the spare roosters in. the hens & their "main man"
free range, as the original reason we got chickens was to get
rid of the ticks in the yard.
we have no ticks in the yard or pasture, very few mosquitoes,
& the grub population is way down. the eggs are just a bonus.

... We would like to eventually free range the chickens or perhaps we'll build a good tractor to move them about the property. ... My concern is, we've tried to raise them together...we've read in Gardening with Guineas that they should do well...that the Guineas will fly out of the hen yard in the morning and then back in in the evening to roost in the chicken house...our experience has been that it is hard to keep the Guineas out of the chicken yard....they will not fly out, we open the gate and they file out each morning...eventually they end up back in the yard and we open the gate and let them out again...This would be somewhat OK BUT, they tend to bully the chickens a bit...actually I think I'd like to have them just roost in the trees at night and keep them away from the chickens.. ... Some never roost in trees, others will roost way up from a very young age and others just think they are hens, even to laying in the nest boxes instead of a well hidden nest way out in the bush. ...
