My brother had a 16oz container of a mix of baby spinach and salad leaves that he hasn't touched for a week. Most of it was still good so I wanted to give it to my chickens before it went bad. Over the span of three days I gave them half the container. I realized now that too much spinach can cause chickens to lay soft shell eggs. I have 6 chickens and 2 roosters. One of my chickens love all greens though and I think she ate the most. She did lay an egg today that seemed fine. I read that apple cider vinegar can help with absorption so I just mixed some in with their feed and the one who loves spinach also loves wet feed so I see her eating a lot of it right now. I won't be giving them any more spinach this week. Did I give them too much spinach? Will they be okay?
