He likes sheep an awful lot too and I didn't know why until I raised hair sheep and found out...there's just something about sheep. Can't describe it but there is definitely a bond going on between sheep and shepherd. My favorite ruminant livestock!

Wish I lived nearby and could go to a church like yours...have yet to find one like that, though I try to find one. It isn't easy....

That's something I would like to know as well.....after having kept them away from the chooks because I had read they were toxic.......argh!

Well, the tannins can be harsh...but wild turkeys eat them like candy and I'm assuming there is a way for chickens to eat them also. Hogs eat them too...both hogs and chickens are monogastric, so.....

What research I found were discussing the tannins in grape seed extract and it was found to depress immune system function and slow and retard the growth of broiler chickens. Doesn't sound too good. Another research found that it decreased egg laying.

I'll have to think about this....

Sort of. One of my dogs loves to eat them and leaves lots of broken ones around. Some of my chickens clean up her leftovers!
