Yes! I'm hoping to get it so that they can harvest a lot of their own food for much of the year.
The goumis and siberian pea shrubs are nitrogen fixers, so they should be good for the fruit trees around them. I went back and forth on them for a while since they're not native and I had originally planned to only do native fruit/nut trees, but they both do incredibly well in our soil and even 2yo goumis already have berries on them.
The chicken run has been one of my favorite areas to set up, but I recently got started on a duck and goose buffet close to the duck house: lots of comfrey, figs, mulberries and probably some persimmons. I'm improving my propagation skills so that we can do most of this almost for free.
