Does anyone actually get weird smelling/tasting eggs when they feed cabbage?

This is awesome!!! Thank you all for your help. Love the ideas. Guess it wasn't such a dumb question after all.

I have also used those giant twisty ties you get off of romaine lettuce, the wire is kind of firm enough to press through.

Also someone on here gave me the great idea to use a suet feeder. I shove broccoli or loose salad greens in there to make it more exciting/ harder for them to eat. Also insures they do not "bite off more than they can chew" as to avoid crop impaction!

Mine will eat savoy cabbage if extremely extremely bored, but you cannot induce them to show the slightest interest in regular green cabbage. (Broccoli neither).

LETTUCE they go for. I hang it by jabbing a hole thru the hardest part of the 'core' with a screwdriver and threading part of a piece of wire through it.

Good luck, have fun, hope your chickens like cabbage

I took an ice pick poked a hole then ran a coat hanger through & twiseds it back to the top. Used the hook part to hang in the coop.
