I was just curious if any of you got together here in Fairbanks?

We are now up and running with our Cafe out in Pleasant Valley if you all want to meet here. Check out our website for hours. =)

Well with this rain I might not be growing much of anything either.

OK.... How many of you'll let your chickens eat horse tail?

How much horse tail?

Any ill effects?

AK Bird Brain told me years back that her chickens got horse tail with grass clippings and never had any problems.

However, I have had horses, and with horses it is a big health issue ( I know mammals don't = poultry)

But, I still, every morning when the chicken tractor gets moved, pick out at least most of the horse tail before letting the chickens out.

Anyone else have experience with chickens eating horse tail?

Mine eat all they can get at, with no ill effects. They prefer the young shoots and as the horsetail matures and dries out the chickens eat less of it. Of course, they always have layer crumbles 24/7 free feed.
