What came first -- the chicken or the garden?

Garden... the chickens are brand new.

Gardens for the last 30 years. Chickens for one...Hopefully 30 more years.

Gardens all of my adult life whenever possible, chickens since last July. Both, hopefully for the rest of my life!

Started gardening with my grandpa when I was toddler. Chickens when I was 4-H age.

Gardening definitely, but I've ALWAYS wanted chickens

I've been in the garden since I was 6 weeks old, but we might have had chickens then. That's difficult! For myself, as an individual, chickens came at 5 years of age and the garden came a little later. Or maybe it came the same year.

I hope that the chickens aren't the responsible party and the reason the garden is gone.

I was a gardener from the time I could walk! When about 2 years of age, I was always digging in the dirt - to the point that my nickname from then on out was Dirt-Shirt. My first memory was at the age of 2 1/2 when my mom was gardening and I noticed the big tractors working the dirt lot at the end of our street to become a school yard. Lived near farms. Gardened with my dad from the time I was little. My favorite college class was an economic botany class and the lab was growing a garden. When I moved into an apartment, I grew in pots. When I bought a house, the garden went in shortly thereafter.

The chickens came later - 2 years ago. And, their home is in the veggie garden!

The egg came first... oh wait, that's a different "what came first" question!

Well I started gardening way before I ever had chickens. That said, I'm far from an expert at it. I think I've just been lucky when I get vegetables from the home center, drop them in the dirt and give them some water.

As I mentioned in another thread BYC made me into a chicken "expert" and I'm really hoping the same thing will happen here at TEG and that I'll become a gardening expert. I really hope to be "growing" both for many years to come... the two just go so well together.

I've had chickens for 4 yrs now,never really had a garden growing up in the "big" city,lol.
So now I have lots of room to grow stuff & find sometimes it's a challenge with free ranging chickens. So far so good. :tools
