>>>Those hens know what is good for them.<<<

In addition to grass, they love squash, pumpkins, beets, turnips and positively love watermelon - I plant extras for them.

I have always heard of mangles for feeding to livestock, and saw that chickens love them too... So I have some seed ordered (on backorder) to try. 20 pound beet might take them at least a half hour to eat... LOL
