frenchlayer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Dear All. Panic. I have looked through list of bad plants and see that curly dock is listed. I have found another site which lists all dock generally as bad because it gives them dermatitis, and 2 of mine have been eating loads of dock, not curly dock and now have scabby spots on their combs which I thought was because they were picking under the wire fence and catching themselves on it. But now I am worried. Camera not working at the mo, so can't post a picture, but can anyone reassure me that flat docks not curly ones are safe to eat....please fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I wouldn't panic. I can't find anything worrying about dock in a Google search. I found an interesting article called Feeding the Flock from the Homestead's Own Resources that says hens can be fed on yellow dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchlayer Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks for that. I don't have any comfrey that I know about. Will see if I can sort some. But do have loads of nettles and dandelion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
