Watercress

Recommended Posts

the general rule seems to be if humans would eat it, then it's OK for chickens.

 

If I've got this rule wrong (and I know there are bound to be exceptions) I would really appreciate some guidance. I know there are poisonous garden plants, I really mean human foodstuffs (fruit and veg that is)

 

There is a list *here* of treats your chickens might like and a list of foods not to give.

 

Hope you find this useful.

What does 'spicy food' do to chickens?

Mine have eaten a bean chilli without any side effects!

They so liked the watercress that when I came to shut them up tonight it had completely disappeared. They must have pulled it completely out of the strap I had used to tie it to the tree.

 

Now worried that one of them will get an impacted crop from the stems of watercress :cry:

 

Aaaaaagh -someone tell me its not that easily done :cry:

I would say highly unlikely, the stems on watercress arent that long are they? (no longer than a small piece of grass a hen would pick off your lawn). I just wouldnt give it to them all of the time!! :D All these treats in moderation and all that :lol:
