Perhaps if you put them in planters that are a bit taller or hanging baskets they will be safe? I don't remember if they hopped up on to my pots or if they just stuck with the plants in the gardens....but I do know that's one of the reasons I'm hesitating on getting chickens again right now. That and the hawks....I had a hawk kill a chicken one year and it nearly broke my heart.

I am worried this year about having plants, as I have the free ranging chickens in my yard that eat... everything! This is my first year to have chickens free ranging. Should be interesting! We can't really start planting here until after Mother's Day, and sometimes not until Father's Day for things that can't take any frost. I'm itching to get some violets and pansies... thanks for the inspiration dear friend, hope you are having a wonderful day!
