Purplemaniacs Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 We were wondering if we can feed carrot tops, the leafy stems, to the girls, if so cooked or raw? Also what about beetroot leaves and stems. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs and chickens Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Mine will not eat them cooked or raw, but yes you can feed them carrot tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Mine go nuts for beetroot leaves and carrot tops and anything else they can get their beaks on really. They're safe for them to have, although eating too much beetroot may cause their dropping to change colour a little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We tie carrot tops into bunches and hang from the mesh - the hens love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph101 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yes, mine get a regular supply of vegetable peelings: Carrots, parsnips, butternut squash, herb stalks, asparagus... all boiled up together, sometimes with a bit of potato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
