Ok, we’ll try it.

We also discovered our chickens love pig weed.

Grapes, they go bonkers for grapes!

Mine won't eat grapes on a bet! But they like watermelon, strawberry tops and tomatoes (red is a theme!). Leftover spaghetti with sauce too, yum! Lettuce about to go bad. Spinach, same. They don't get much else and none of this very often. I want them to get the good, balanced nutrition I pay for.

I believe you. Each chicken is an individual, each flock has its own dynamics. One funny scene I remember was a hen at a grape trellis jumping up about 18" to pluck a grape, then doing it again. Just bouncing up and down.

I've tried a few different garden greens but my chickens absolute favorite green snack is... random weeds around the yard.

haha - ours are the same way. I can pluck spinach, cabbage, lettuce, marigolds, lavender, lemongrass, dill, peppermint and thyme from the garden -- no takers. Weeds and grass - they're all over it.
