Grapes!

[Rise722]

I have seedless grapes in my garden, and only get a few, as the raccoons get most of them. There is one
plant, however, that has ventured along the fence line inside the chicken run. Should I prune it back and
not let it continue, or would it be ok for the chickens to get some of the grapes if they fall into the run?

Yep, they will love them!

They will love them! The best part is that it will be enrichment for them as they try to figure out how to get them off the plant.

The chickens will love the grapes.

But if the grape is using the run for support it could cause structural damage. Grapevines can be HEAVY and their growth can pry wires apart.

I have the vines securely propped up. And, yes, they do get heavy!

Chickens LOVE grapes! We have several wild grape vines growing around our property, and it's very entertaining to watch chickens eat the low fruit and then hop up higher, then higher, then higher, to get to the high fruit .
