New source of winter greens - watercress!

[BeardedChick]

I have been grabbing handfuls of watercress in the creeks around home and bringing some home for the girls. They gobble it up! Anyone else feeding watercress????

This was a big leafy bunch, but they've picked it to the stems.

Haven't feed any to my chickens yet, but I love to eat watercress. Yum!

I never liked eating it so well... I think finding the little pond snails on it sort of squelched the idea.

Smacking self in the forehead for not thinking of this one!

We like to take our Aussie out to an old trout farm and the spring-fed creek is just loaded with watercress.

Now I have another excuse to go out there, how cool is that!

Thanks Bearded Chick!

I want to hear if your chickies gobble it up like candy, too!
