can chickens eat broccoli

[smigitte]

I have some broccoli in the fridge is its safe for my chickens to eat it??

Yep. I did not manage to grow broccoli this year due to some very persistent chickens that were determined to get to my broccoli plants despite them being netted. They enjoy all of the brassica crops, really.
If you are giving it to chicks, be sure to provide grit as well.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! X2, chickens like broccoli, here is a nice chicken treat chart from the Learning Center you might like to check out https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/chicken-treat-chart-the-best-treats-for-backyard-chickens

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Chickens not only eat broccoli, they will devour an entire bed of kale if given half a chance (don't ask how I know this). Our girls enjoy the garden produce as much as we do (except for egg plant, which I don't enjoy much either).

The treat chart Kelsi2290 refers to is an excellent resource to check before giving your chickens things other than their feed.

Thanks for joining us!

Welcome to Backyard chickens - they seem to have varied tastes from vegetables to cleaning -off turkey carcasses (after holidays.)

Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you joined us! Yes, they can eat broccoli -- but whether they like it is a different question
