We just moved our 6 wk old trio out to their coop a couple days ago and they seem to love it. Although its a dirt run, the fence is surrounded by a bunch of different weeds. I threw some stems in and the chicks went crazy they loved them! couldnt get enough.(but since they were young i only gave them a few)
I read before the chickens eat weeds and are good at clearing overgrown areas...but did some research this morning and found this site... http://www.poultryhelp.com/toxicplants.html
They list a few HUNDRED "toxic" plants for chickens... is this true? should i be worried? and stop feeding them weeds? also..their coop is next to a tiny cherry tree (Also on the list!)
Thanks in advance for any advice/feedback
