Allium Eating Chickens
« on: April 03, 2010, 13:43:11 »
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.
