Many people like myself dream about the day they will have a spacious enough yard to own a little flock of chickens. But it isn't all making pancakes with freshly laid eggs: your flower beds could suffer tremendously, with flowers being eaten, dug up and damaged.
It is possible to keep chickens and still have flowers in your yard if you take some time to implement methods that will keep your chickens out of the beds entirely. These barriers don't have to be an eyesore to be effective either, so it's definitely worthwhile if your chickens are prone to snacking and scratching at soil.
