Chickens and Plants

[ericadawn16]

Okay, you guys were so good with my cooking Question that I have another one.

my town has chickens.

They don't actually belong to anyone and although there are laws against free-roaming, they are unstoppable.

However, they are eating my purple, low lying plant. They are probably the same culprit that ate our LILY!
The aloe appears to be the only thing they leave alone.

Short of building a fence around the house which is economically unfeasible and doesn't seem to help anyway...they fly when food's involved or getting a pet to chase them off, what can we do?

*We also don't want to kill them.

No, I just sprinkled the powder in the garden. I learned that, amazingly, at yoga class where there are a number of avid gardeners! I wonder if planting it might help, too...
