They eat every green thing that comes into sight!

Right now, my chickies are enjoying the bottom leaves from home grown, broccoli, cauliflower & cabbage. My yard is free of dandelions since I pick all of them for the chicks. I plan on starting some mustard seeds in a couple of shallow pans, really kitty litter pans, so that they can eat these.

Moochie: We have a lawn and they definitely pick at the grass but don't actually dig it up (sorta naturally "lawnmow" it). So far we haven't had them damage anything in the yard, but we have a designated digging area that they use...it's in the far corner of our small orchard and is basically just an expanse of dirt.

You got me worried that my flock might start doing some damage!

Maybe my chickens are just wierd? We used to have a alot of grass too, before we got the chickens. I dunno what happened to it all. My mom said they were "weeds" and dug them out... Grass is a type of weed? I'm actually some wheat grass in a little pot, I can't put that outside haha it'll be gone within a few seconds.
