TheChookKeeper Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Have just been tearing down my first ever crop of runner beans, from my first ever garden, in my first ever house, and the chooks were getting very excited - knowing they like beans, I thought I would give them the whole plant - it was a bit shrivled around the edges, but they LOVED it! I am now planning what I could grow next year, thinking more about whether they will like it than whether I will!!! These chickens do something to the brain, I am sure of it!

Carol U Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Mine love beans too, although the leaves rather than the pods. I had to put a 4ft high mesh around mine, or we wouldn't have had any pods! I would still catch them jumping to try to reach the overhangs. If it's of any interest, they did exactly the same with the raspberry leaves - ate everything within jumping distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 These chickens do something to the brain, I am sure of it! Definately! Congratulations of your first ever crop. in your first every garden, in your first ever house!! Next year try perpetual spinach. It grows all year, including winter, with some protection and my girls love it. Good for iron too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
