Swede tops?

Recommended Posts

Googled my own answer :lol:

off to give them a go......

 

'The hens will eat a wide range of other food for example they love the leaves of all greens such as swede tops, cabbage (exactly the same things as pigeons) and they love comfrey leaves and frequently peck at long grass and grazing rye. They like all kinds of insects, snails and shellfish. The Elm Road hens go mad for sunflower seeds and fresh maize if they can get it. Their favourite food is earthworms.'

I know Farmers feed swedes turnips to their sheep, I gave my chickens some comfrey last week and they thoroughly enjoyed it(I think it has anti inflammatory or some healing property)??
