Suzy Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hi all, am sitting in my garden watching the hens scrabble around in their run and DH has just cut the grass. He suggested putting the cuttings in their tyre in the run for them to scrabble about in. His logic is they would eat the grass if they were able to so it woudl do them no harm, but I am sure I've heard it's not a good thing.... Can anyone help? Thanks, Suzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 As long as the clippings are quite short, a handful or two won't harm. I give them to my girls as a treat. Long grass or massive amounts of clippings are the the causes of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks for the super quick response Egluntine - we've just put some in now and there are three tails sticking out of their tyre and three very happy hens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
