Is it okay to give chickens mowed grass?

[PineShavings]

I have a small tree in my backyard and I just started dumping the freshly mowed grass around it so the chickens can dig around in it. Is this okay? Are there still remnants of gas in the grass? Can it harm the chickens if they eat it?

Unless you spilled some gas, there will be none in the grass, and it won't harm the birds

Our girls love a good dig in mowed grass. I throw a catcher full into the run from time to time and let them have at it!

I usually don't use a bag for mowing and leave the clippings behind(better for your lawn). I do on occasion bag some and dump it into each run. They love it and gives them hours of scratching around fun. It is not unhealthy for them at all.

It has never harmed my flock - they love grass clippings. Good point made above about "gas" & make sure there is no chemicals on the clippings. My flock gobble up the clippings from the mower

I always put clippings in the run. Just make sure your birds have a source of grit, either natural or granite, to help grind up the grasses.
