Why did my chickens stop wanting to eat weeds and graas and only want feed? There's still plenty down in Texas. (Dfw)
Is it the time of the year that maybe has them not wanting to eat weeds?
 
I rotate paddocks and there are grasses the birds refuse to eat. They will eat everything else but that grass will remain when I rotate. Grass isn't that good for chickens. It is low in nutrients and tends to be tough and unpalatable.
Forbs like clover, alfalfa, beets, radishes, buckwheat, winter peas, etc. are much better for chickens than grass.
