Do chickens eat clover weed ? When I get them I have a large patch to clear of the stuff > It would save me weeding it out.

Not sure if they will eat it but they will certainly be scratching and pecking amongst it.

Clover's biggest competitive advantage is it's ability to thrive with no compounds of Nitrogen being present in the soil (it gets it from air instead). A bit of chicken poo will remove that advantage & you clover will vanish if the chooks roam around. Well, that's my theory anyway...
