Broccoli - Before, During & After

I was wondering the same thing about summer feeding. I know they liked the green bean plants I grew in the fall. They didn't like the tomato plants, although they did eat ripe tomatoes. Maybe they'll like cucumber or squash plants.

I started hanging up the plants so it would take them a little longer to eat them. Plus, I just like seeing them jump around!

My chickens will have nothing to do with okra! jomoncon and Baymule, there's something about hanging the greens that makes them want them so much more. Last year I just stood my spent broccoli plants in the run and they pecked at it, but most of it was wasted. Hanging them has been ever so much better. And you're right, it so much fun to watch them jump! It's good exercise too.
