Should I wrap the trees while they are young? I can definitely do wing clipping, I will look on you tube, I bet I could find some videos to show me how to do that. I plan to put 6ft chainlink on one side and then probably just 4 ft chicken wire on the other side. Is 4 ft tall enough? Maybe I should go taller. (I'm using 6 ft chainlink on the outside part so that the deer will not have an easy way to my fruit.) I didn't think chickens could fly at all !
I know the grass won't make it, but that is fine. I do plan on laying straw in it, is that ok for the birds? Then I thought a couple times a year I could replace it with fresh straw and use the old on my vegetable gardens, ?
