Hi everyone,
I have daily access to pretty much every fruit and vegetable available. I am interested in hearing what would be your go to produce items to feed to your flock if you had a choice of any fruit and vegetable items. I am not really thinking along the idea of a snack or treat. I have read through the forum on that and have some ideas. I am thinking more along the lines of a possible daily offering in addition to their starter/layer feed. My flock will not get much free range time to grass at all for a while so I am thinking lettuce, greens, broccoli or???
I also read in the forum that what they eat changes the flavor of their eggs, and that free range are preferred. Any ideas on produce items to change taste for the better? I do realize taste is subjective, but has anyone been able to positively effect flavor with fruit or vegetables in the diet?
Also, do you know of any specific vegetables that can potentially help excelerate their growth or production? I am thinking maybe produce items high in specific vitamins or something to help "Pump them up".
Thanks!
JN
