Chickens in the garden

Date sort Score sort
I routinely throw prunings from the garden, and kitchen scraps into the run, and they always scratch around in the pile, but have never gotten sick. They love tomatoes, but I've never seen them eat the leaves.

Also, they make a wide berth around onions, avocado scraps, and citrus. My feeling is that they somehow know not to eat the questionable stuff, so it goes into the run compost pile.

I do avoid throwing moldy, or rotten stuff in there, even though it molds, and rots in the compost pile anyway !

My chickens are (very) well fed, and seem to be pretty picky about their diet, turning their little noses up at anything they deem unworthy to eat.

YMMV

Oh yeah, welcome !!!
