SillyClucker Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Our hens are coming up to a week with us and have not been allowed out of their run. we have a plum tree which has dropped alot of fruit - would be ok to let the hens free range with all this fruit lying around?

Martin B Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I don't think they should eat too many. A few SHOULD be ok, but check that they are not poisonous to hens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I would say no. If they are greedy, they will get severe diahorrea. I give my hens about two plums a day each from our tree and this is enough to give them the runs. I would eat the good plums yourself and just give them the ones that have a hole in. Chickens are not like us and regard a worm as an added bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
