They leave the tomatoes alone, but love digging in the potatoes. Once things have been harvested though, I let them have the garden back, which they love. Enjoyed your article, and yes, my chickens would come in the house if I would let them, lol!

Wehn they are bigger we remove the cages. We keep the tomatoes separate. Works great! We free range them in the main backyard supervised so they don't dig up the perennials.
