    Garden Vegatables, some they love some they dont

    So we have noticed that our chickens love old lettuce but they don't seem to cobble up the extra zucchini as much. Are there certain veggies they like better cooked i.e. zucchini? I guess it would make it easier to eat if it is softer. Any thoughts are welcome.
