sage Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have a mass of beetroot at the moment so pickling this weekend. But what to do with the all the leaves. The chickens go mad for them so I was thinking they can have a bunch and the rest I could try drying them in the oven and use a winter supplement / treat. Also there is a field near me with loads of dandelions, my girls love them. Anyone tried this? Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It's been a good year for beetroot! My girls love the leaves, I'd just feed them to them fresh. I'm not sure if they'd eat them dried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
