greens for chickens?
grannyjanny:
Can chickens eat lettuce & spinach, someone thinks they go short on greenery :BangHead:.
Jayb:
I hope so, mine do!
goodlife:
They can...though lettuce can give runny bum for some. I don't tend to give lettuce to mine. But other sort of greenery, veg tops are all eaten eagerly.
Mikeakabigman:
Yep, Chickens thrive on a varied diet, including greens, if they haven't had access to any sort of greens, give a little to start with, until their systems get used to it.
When given access to free range it is surprising what they will eat, I once caught mine squabbling over a dead Frog .

Oh yes...mine did that over a mouse family..they were chancing the poor little things, pecked them into lump of mince meat and swallowed the little things whole..YUK!
Looks and sounds horrid but chickens were highly delighted for the extra protein.. :drunken_smilie:
