Chickens will scratch around and eat many plants in the garden, including tender vegetable and fruit crops that you have to fence off. If you’re looking to put some plants in your garden that won’t hurt your chickens have a look at this list from the wonderful blog Fresh Eggs Daily….

Some of this list can be debatable – whilst some chickens won’t bother with a plant on the list, others may devour it! Sometimes a little trial and error is called for. Top tip: Clover ~ Let this favorite grow wild throughout your lawn. It is a favorite of chickens and bees. Dandelions ~ Around here these grow from early Spring to late Fall. Try digging them up roots and all and tossing them into the run with your flock. They will love you for it! For more information on the best edible annual flowers for your chicken, check out the link below!
