Finally a practical idea. My daughter does this to keep neighborhood Tom cats from pooping in her flowerbeds. Hysterical.

I absolutely adore my bantam chickens. They are so stinking cute, and they have definitely become my little pet. But I get so mad when I catch them digging in my plants. And the rooster loves to jump up on my favorite stand of plants and crow. The final straw was them picking out a bunch of plants. I had just put in a pot to grow new roots . I worked so hard getting those plants in that pot, and my little rooster jerked them all out in a matter of moments. I must do some thing now. The sprinkler is not a bad idea. But I can’t let it run all day and I can’t be right there to make it turn on just when he comes up to the plants. I will figure something out though. Good idea.😂

This sprinkler only turns on when there’s movement by it. It has a motion detector. It works great.

🤔 suppose they're looking for a juicy little snack digging through those wood chips they hold moisture pretty good I wonder if it's possible to remove the chips I know break them all out clear the path apply a covering black plastic or something barrier and then apply the chips but you may want to peripheral it with holes to keep it from holding moisture that would defeat the purpose that was still attract the insects as the chickens will come home to roost for a snack haha joke chickens will come to visit the fast food stops still deterrence 🤔 Increasing the feed to lessen the appetite plus destruction possibly will create a large stink for they will poop everywhere fat and happy tackling all day 😭
this is hilarious. I am definitely getting one for my porch/garden!

Yes it worked good for us. It does take batteries but they lasted all summer for us. I’m sure I need to put new ones in the spring for the sprinkler. We are considering getting one more to put one in front of our squash patch so they don’t eat those too.
Interesting, will give this a try, also my hens take their sand bath up against the side of my house, so they've made all these big holes which are really ugly!
