Stories featuring strawberry patches and free roaming hens don’t often have a happy ending. Chickens love ripe strawberries. They will leave unripe ones alone. They can be incredibly efficient, wiping out a patch in minutes, They can be persistent, dropping by the patch a few times a day, even on the way back to the barn at night. After losing a few of the early berries we finally covered the plants with row cover. There aren’t many blossoms left, and most of the fruit has set. Evil birds.
Strange. When you google “strawberries” and “chicken” you get lots of recipes.
