    I've tried to feed my chickens salad veggies like spinach and lettuce but they turn their beaks up at them. Maybe yours would like them though, if they don't get much grass. Mine do really like tomatoes and ears of corn but they're more of a treat than anything else. I've been to Wagga Wagga. Is it similar country where you are?
