Allium Eating Chickens

[Glenburnie]

Hi, does anyone know if it's o.k. for Chickens to eat allium's.  Mine love the tops off onions, leeks etc, not the actual onion or leek, just the tops.  I have heard that it can affect the taste of the eggs and wondered if there is any truth to this.

Yep...too much and their eggs may have onion flavour..but other than that no harm done..

Ah..o.k. thanks, better ration them then.
