Kale, the poultry opiate

[Stephanie Mitchell]

Kale, collard greens, zucchini, anything dark green helps achieve dark orange beautiful yolks as well as a healthy treat! Mine love all of that but the absolute crack in my coop is frozen (or fresh) corn. The young birds I have trample anything to get a kernel. They went from fearing humans and running away when I reached in to change the water to being so underfoot it's obnoxious in a matter of days. The secret way to a chickens heart is through it's stomach I suppose!

Corn on the cob is the ultimate treat for sure. That was my birds Christmas present last year.

They did get some fresh kale today -- some birds like it lot, others not so much.

You know there is something wrong with you when you are perfectly fine with being low on groceries and willing to eat a PBJ sandwich in order to avoid going to the grocery store, but as soon as you hear chickens love Kale and cabbage you are getting dressed to head down to wallyworld!! LOL!

How true!!!!!
