Debated over whether to put this in chicken keepers or gardening....

Would be good to compile a list of experience over what plants your chickens eat,so I know what mistakes not to make!

My latest mistake was begonias -which are,apparently,delicious!

Mine used to eat my rhubarb leaves.
They also stripped a rose bush of all its blooms.

I'd forgotten that!!!
I had very few flowers on my roses and came to the conclusion the chooks were eating the buds.

rhubarb leaves???? aren't they poisonous?
mine LOVE any lettuce/brassicas that have gone to seed- they are well penned in so don't get a choice of anything else!- only what I deign to chuck over the fence!

Mine have devoured as many of my dahlias as they can reach.
