    Goose nesting problems

    Hello everyone! We are new to raising geese, and I need some advice. We have 3 Production Toulouse that we have had for about a year.

    Can chickens eat grapes with seeds?

    Can chickens eat grapes with seeds? I have searched through posts and although there have been some relevant returns (posts where this question has been asked in the course of other topics), I have never been able to find the answer. We have two Concord Grape vines in our yard that produce a...
