Cauliflower leaves toxic?

[scarletbaby]

Ive been looking up plants that are toxic to chickens and found the forum on here which listed them all. One of them said the Brassica spp (cabbage, kale,) but says nothing about cauliflower leaves or brussel sprout leaves. So are they toxic?

I am not sure about chickens, but my goats eat them both to the root.

My chickens haven't died from them yet.

My 8 little RIRs - 13 weeks old today - have been eating my excess brassica leaves, broccoli, cauliflower & cabbage, for the past 2 months with absolutely no problems. They especially love the broccoli & cauliflower.

Mine will pick cauliflower down to the roots. No problems here.

My chickens love all things brassica.... esp the greens!

Mine haven't ever had a problem eatting it either. I try to give them all the green I can in the winter

No, they're the same thing as cabbage or any of that family. All are good food as long as it isn't overdone. You have to vary diet.
