Mine do love the dandelions and also if I pull clover and stick in run the get some and run off with it. I also have a strawberry patch and my free range hens love when I throw them some over the garden fence.
I am new to the site. Found it when I was looking for answers to chicken questions. We have raised meat chickens for years but new to the egg business in the last couple. My girls are totally free range with the cattle. I didn't know how much I would enjoy having them but it is so much fun to...
