I would guess no, but you can try asking here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/2/managing-your-flock
Good Luck!

Greens will give them looser stools and even diarrhea if you offer them up too much. Greens are very high in fiber. Try to keep the greens down to what ever they can clean up in 10 or 15 mins and only once a day. Certain foods can also turn their poop colors like blueberries and red berries!

Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!
