Do Chickens prefer a certain veggie/herb/flower?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I'm going to plant a 'salad bar' and fence it in so the girls won't mow it down and it can keep growing/recovering.  I was wondering if anyone knew their favorites to plant so they can reach a bit through and pick their favs.  I know calendula is great for bright yolks but...any other goodies to pass on?

 

Thanks!

if you go to the backyard chicken site, they have a list of what chickens can eat.

when ours destroyed the garden, they seemed to particularly enjoy the greens: collard, kale, turnip, mustard.  didn't touch the spinach, though.  (we've fenced it but it took them a day to strip the greens, so they must be chicken yummy).  that's a good idea, btw!
