They are pretty opportunistic about most everything else.

Glad to have you aboard!!

And here is a tip. If you have a garden don't let your chickens into it, they LOVE lettuce, and other veggies!

Yeah, I heard that they would destroy your garden but i guess i underestimated the meaning of "destroy."

Anyway, who needs veggies!!

Absolutely! They are great for clearing a bed from "spent" crops... They will clear a bed out faster than a 4 alarm fire!
