Mention deer and I start flipping through recipes.

So do I, but they are so small due to overpopulation in our area. We view them as pests.

Only critters I have to worry about are vine borers and spider mites.

I haven't seen either for ages (knock on wood). I think the chickens take care of them and other bugs.

My grandmother let her chickens wander in the garden some every day and I don’t recall her ever having vine borers. Her squash plants lasted all summer, into the fall and up to the first freeze. She didn’t use a lot of pesticides either. If we had a fence I’d let chickens wander my yard, too.
