I need to provide some shade and wind protection for my chickens in their enclosure. The enclosure is on a mild slope (so well drained) and is at the moment a grassy field. Can anyone suggest some inexpensive bushes or shrubs I can plant in there that will give them shade in the summer and not be too high maintenance? If it provides snacks for the birdies that would be a bonus, but I suspect that might be asking for too much. Thanks in advance.
